Hey everyone,
I've been reading the forums for a few months now and finally started brewing at Christmas with a kit the wife got for me. The first batch of beer i made was a Bock kit from FestaBrew (ready made wort) and it's turned out well. I'm about to start my second batch of beer and I want to do a honey brown beer from the FestaBrew Brown kit. I've searched through the forum and haven't really found much on when to add honey and how much when using a premade wort.
I guess my question is when using a premade wort, should i add the honey to the primary before pitching the yeast so the honey ferments or will i get a stronger honey flavor from adding it to the secondary? I've read that it will take extra time to clear when honey is added, is this true?
Thanks in advance
