Honey malt only works for the few styles where you want honey flavor.
Is honey malt made in the same way as a base malt or crystal malt?
RM-MN said:Yes and no.
All malts start out by malting the raw grain. Then the process changes to get the various types. You would need to get a tour of the malt house to see how they processes differ and event then they might not tell you enough that you could make your own. Honey malt is supposed to be "stewed" to create that unique flavor.
