HELLO to all homebrewers

hi to all, only just found this site & im sure this is the place for me. a month ago we started brewing after a break of 20 years !!!! (been very busy) with a kitty of £200 new equipment has been bought and the fermenting bin has been working overtime the first brew is a bruton bitter, its in the barrell & gasing up nicely, we followed with a west country cider (still fermenting) will bottle the cider. the next brew will be a hamblton bard strong bitter & my question is can i use honey to replace the sugar ? recipe says 3kg of sugar will 3kg of honey do the trick ? many thanks. happy brewing. harveymoon.

Welcome aboard Harvey.

Honey will work fine, but has and extremely lengthy fermentation time so plan accordingly.

Hello and welcome! I'm no expert on brewing with honey, but it certainly will work as a replacement for sugar. I know that the level of residual sweetness will vary depending on when it is added to the boil. I'm sure more knowledgable folks will weigh in...
