your assumption is correct, i dont like the bitterness. i went with your second suggestion and used all the hops and approx pound of honey. brewed it up yesterday.
the gravity measured in at 1.040, starting gravity was listed as 1.050-1.052 on the instructions. the honey taste was definitely noticeable when i drank the sample. i was excited about the sweetness but im pretty sure that it wont taste like that after fermentation and the yeast eats up all that honey-sugar.

if anyone wants to fill me in on why my gravity was so much lower thatd be great. im going to go hunt around the boards to try and figure it out as well. could it be that i didnt compensate for temperature?

and as always thanks all!
