<div>If I repitch the yeast, will that also act on the additional honey, and make it all even more alcoholic?<br>

<div>Terafan,</div>
<div> many thanks. now what to do. I may not have killed the yeast, as things are bu<TT><FONT face=Arial>bbling along. there now being presumably o'er much honey, what will occur? and there was too much stuff altogether, so it's over flowed up into the airlock. can I just put in a clean airlock?</FONT></TT> </div>

A minor correction to my math...<br>
<br>
If you put in 3 16 oz containers of honey (6 cups), then you put 4 1/2 lbs<br>
of honey in (not 4 as I said earlier)...<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
