Been messing around with honey for 6 monthes or so, and this is the best recipe I've came up with yet!!!

Has anyone tried this? Thinking about making it this weekend

Not tried that recipe but I'll make a couple of suggestions about it.

1. Measure honey by weight, not volume.
2. Add the honey post boil, during the cool-down (I typically add it when the wort is under 110-100F)...
3. You can add some for primary fermentation, and then add the rest once things have calmed down some. NOT after racking to another vessel... I would add it right on the yeast cake.
4. You can also opt for honey malt. Or use honey malt and some honey in the recipe.
