I'm adding this to my brewing wishlist.

At what point did you add the honey?

Flameout. It helps retain a subtle honey character. This beer is all too drinkable. This keg is going to be lucky to make it 7 days.

if everything related to beer were measured in metric, maybe we'd finally switch over?

well my 15 year old digital kitchen scale can accurately measure 20g, 25g, and 30 g...but not .7oz, .88oz, or 1.05oz (same thing...different system). It goes in 1/8th oz increments, or one gram increments. I think lots of home digital scales are the same. Thats one of the benefits of metric, more precise measurements on home equipment.

Plan to brew this recipe on Sunday. Assume this is for a 5 -5.5 gallon batch?

6 gallons at the end of the boil. This way you can leave a little behind in the kettle, and a little behind in the fermenter, and still take a full 5 gallons of finished beer to the keg or bottles.

Let me know how you like this recipe. I think it's a really solid summer time session beer.

For the metrically impaired/lazy

2.12kg = 4.67lbs
.37kg = .81lbs

21g = .91oz
15g =.52oz
50g = 1.76oz
