Hello all! Been reading about beer and home brew for about a year now (since the day I found out that was something you could even do), and I've finally had the means to make it happen.
I've got myself a simple setup and a Brewer's Best cream ale kit that I plan on starting in a couple of days. I've been knocking around the forum for ideas to substitute for the corn sugar (without mashing), and I thought honey would make a nice addition. I read a thread on literally the same kit and subject, and there was a lot of debate on whether or not to boil, and no actual results. I'm curious to know from anyone with experience with honey has any concise information on how/when to add the honey to make the flavor a actually come through in the brew. Aside from that, wish me luck! I'll keep you posted.
Cheers! Josh
