My current batch of home brew refused to ferment.
Best I can figure is the honey I put in it was made in china sold at Costco. Apparently the Chinese super filter all the pollen out of it so it can't be traced to the country of origin and they load it up with antibiotics. I do believe the antibiotics is killing my yeast which I have added in massive amounts 3 times.
Not sure if that's what's going on but I am not happy.
That is disappointing. I am sure you can find local produced honey? We have a FReeper that is harvesting bee hives and she has something in the area of 40 gallons of honey she has harvested from her bees. You might get in touch with her.
