Ok, so to clarify, it isnt actually a 3 gallon batch. It is three gallons of water +honey. I was confused because when we made our last batch, I THOUGHT we used a total of 4 gallons of water and 12lbs honey, and then was shocked to see how my headspace was left when we put it into the secondary.... however, eoN pointed out to me that we only used three gallons of water with the honey and that is why there was so much space. (I had just thought that we lost water due to evaporation in the primary)

So, it occurred to me to read up more on this, and so incase I am too lazy to edit the post, I wanted to add that it is BEFORE the yeast goes in that we take the reading. At this point, our hydrometer read 18%.... so this is what we will go by. We weren't sure, and therefore took a reading before and after. Shannon and Todd, your post yeast amount was 15%, just like ours, so I am just going to guess that your pre-yeast was similar to ours as well.. 18%? (thats what i get for not researching properly!)
