I just purchased a Honey Wheat kit from adventures in homebrewing. The instructions say to...
-steep the grains
-add LME
-bring to boil and add hops, continue boil for 45 mins
-add honey, continue boil for 15 mins
However, after doing some research I've decided to add the honey to secondary as opposed to the boil. So should I just add the hops and boil for 60 mins? Or should I adjust the boil time since I am not adding the honey at the 45 min mark? Also, I was planning on heating up the honey to 160 for 15 mins and then pouring it straight in to the glass carboy. Is this a good idea or should I dilute it with water?
