As Suspected. Nothing new....pretty well confirms my suspicions. I am glad they ACTUALLY did this, I've been talking about it for months....a side by side with the same recipe...boiling one not the other.

Oh well.
Good Post Sir.
 
After reading about how the boiled batch seemed to have better body and flavor, but less aroma, I wonder about splitting it. Boil half, and then add the other half as it cools. Best of both worlds? Or would I just weaken it all around?
 
What about using a double-boiler method? Then its much easier to control the temp, the honey on the bottom cant get 'burnt', and the maximum temp would be 100 C. I have used this method a bit... the honey seems to be just fine afterwards...
 
That would work fine, but the debate is about heating honey at all. Popular wisdom is that heating it causes you to lose aroma and/or flavor.
