Honey rosemary saison

[Brewslikeaking]

I was looking for some advice on making a honey saison with rosemary and was wondering if anyone had any experience with these ingredients. I was thinking of adding honey until I saw that you can get honey malt. What's that like. How does the ratio work, is it substitute for base malt or just small amounts for flavoring. No experience with mead, can someone outline the basics of honey fermentability, ratios etc. Thanks

I can't speak about the Rosemary but I think you're on the right track with the honey malt. Honey is very fermentable and the only way you'll get any flavor from it is adding at the very end of the boil IIRC. The honey malt should provide a more resilient flavor, but you could always do both.
