I recently posted some questions about adding honey to beer. I love honey and, after tasting a beer called 'bumble beer', I really wanted to try and impart as much honey flavour and aroma in my next brew as possible. After some suggestions from you chaps I resolved to add all of my honey at flameout stage and also add honey for the priming of the beer.
I'm gonna be kegging 4 gallons and bottling 2 gallons. I was wondering whether it would be possible to add honey to the batch I plan to bottle at the secondary stage..? Could I just boil and cool some honey and then syphon the wort onto this in the secondary? It would be interestong to compare the batches, do you think a secondary addition would have a significant affect on flavour and / or aroma?
If I don't detect enough honey flavour in the finished beer, I guess I could try finding some honey essence and adding this, also someone mentioned it is possible to get a honey malt, which could be interesting.
Any help appreciated. Cheers.
