I brewed this on Sunday:
Original Gravity: 1.073 (1.048 - 1.065)
Terminal Gravity: 1.018 (1.002 - 1.012)
Color: 6.76 (5.0 - 14.0)
Alcohol: 7.24% (5.0% - 7.0%)
Bitterness: 29.2 (20.0 - 35.0)
Ingredients:
0.5*lb Honey Malt (steep)
6.0*lb Dry Light Extract
1.0*oz Czech Saaz (5.0%) - added during boil, boiled 60*m
1.0*tsp Irish Moss - added during boil, boiled 15*m
1.0*oz Citra™ (13.9%) - added during boil, boiled 5.0*m
3.0*lb Orange Blossom Honey (add to primary at peak krausen)
1.0*ea WYeast 3711 French Saison
Gravity prior to primary was 1.054. I plan to add the honey as early as today as the krausen ring is coming up nicely. I have two questions with regards to the honey:
Is there anything I need to do to prep the honey prior to adding it to primary?
Do I stir the beer while adding the honey, after adding, both or not at all?
