Ahoy,
So I have just made an ale with 5lb of Orange blossom honey and it has been a little over 5 weeks of fermenting. I am drinking it as I type this, and I am very curious if there is actually any nutritional benefit to adding honey in beer during fermentation?
I am well aware that yeast consumes most of the honey sugars, but I don't know if the sugars have anything to do with the actual nutrients the honey contains.
I added the 5lb of raw honey into the carboy at the 3rd day of primary fermentation. Primary fermentation appeared to have lasted for a little over two weeks, judging by the high krausen and the bubbling.
