Hi all,
I'm looking for a little help with making a honey beer. I have never used honey in large quantities before.
I have a bit over 1kg of mystery honey............. I was thinking of mashing 2kg wheat and 1kg pale (prolly 68-70*C for an hour). 90min boil and chucking the honey in in the last 10 minutes. Hop wise???????????? I generally like fairly bitter beers, but that might not work with honey........
Any suggestions?
Has anyone used that much honey in a pale beer before, and how did it turn out?
Also, yeast, it's cold at the moment so I was thinking s-23, but that might be a bad idea with honey and wheat.
