Rich,

I'd like to try this recipe out. I plan on kegging it. When do you recommend adding the honey?

I added mine at flameout, most of the flavor ferments out but you are left with a little taste and a little aroma. I might try adding it to the secondary next time, I think BYO had a good article on how to do that a while back.
