EXPERIMENT beer....Add Honey?

Actually, I have a recipe for a "Honey Amber Ale" which is excellent. You can make something similar just by adding a pound or 2 (about 1 kilo) per full batch...any more than that and you'll be making Mead, also try using a little at bottling time instead of priming sugar.

Oh & you won't need any additional sugar...what do you think honey is??

send the recipe plse

This is from Stout Billy's

Ingredients: 6.5 pounds Amber extract (2 cans if using cans) 2 cups honey 1 pound crystal malt 1.5 ounces Hallertauer hops (boil) 0.5 ounces Hallertauer hops (finishing) Wyeast #1056 (American) 5/8 cup honey (priming)

Procedure: Heat water to 160 degrees and steep malt for 30 minutes. Remove grains and heat to boiling. Add extract and honey and return to boil. Add boiling hops and boil for 45 minutes. Add finishing hops and boil for 15 minutes. Cool and pitch yeast (I used a starter). When active fermentation subsides rack to secondary. Leave in secondary for 4 weeks. When ready to bottle boil honey with pint of water for 10 minutes.

thanks but I use the kit malt

You mean Liquid Malt Extract...it comes in 3.3 lb cans with the little packet of dried yeast right? Just use 2 of them. Cool thing about beer recipes, you don't have to follow them to the T and can substitute, I actually did this as an all grain. You could even use Dry Malt Extract for this. Malt is malt.

OK, THANKS

I just made a brew and i used honey instead of sugar [1 kilo of pure honey not the stuff you get in the shops] and it turned out good but its rocket fuel so i think i will have to cut down on the kilo and i might try 750 grams of honey then 500 grams ect ect . most of the guys out here say half a kilo will do it [as most only use half a kilo of sugar to bring the A/c down] if anyone knows how to do it give me a yell thanks .
