I have two recipes that I would like to try that call for honey to be added to the mix. The last one I did was way too strong and sweet and didn't taste like a beer. Is there any ingredient that I can use to substitute honey? I don't necessarily want the flavor or aroma. Can I just add some more malt extract in it's place?
 
Honey won't make beer sweet if you added it before it feremented. It's almost 100% fermentable. I'm guessing it's something else.
 
Well, if the purpose of adding honey was to boost the ABV without increasing the malt content, you could just use corn sugar.
