Wow not even one view must need to put like epic wit beir of swmbo slaying destruction or something!

Interesting to see how it turns out. Why did you add the honey?

I had a gallon of wild honey from a bee keeper in northern California and it is very cinnamon / spicy. I thought it would compliment the yeast and coriander. Also I was dying to throw it in something and this seemed the most appropriate.

Well...how'd it turn out? Recipe looks OK.

I'm about to tackle a similar brew with raw wheat! I also have a hook-up for raw honey from a beekeeper. I may post a thread once I get it brewed.

It is still kinda green but from the few I have had it tastes like just a wit beer with no flavor added from the honey . I was really expecting some cinnamon flavor from the honey but it fermented completely out. Maybe the pollen in the honey dropped out or something. Good thing I like wit beers

I just made a wit with 40% raw wheat, did a cereal mash. Still fermenting.

As far as the honey goes, you probably would have gotten more honey flavor from adding it to secondary. Not sure though, never used honey. I know byo did an article a couple issues ago. I can check that and getty back if you'd like.

EDIT: just saw this post...
