Priming with honey

[reapernazara]

So I used a wheat beer extract and added 1.5 lbs honey to primary and want to use honey to carb, maybe add just a bit much so it'll retain honey flavor, how much should I use?

Honey is about 18% water, so divide your normal dextrose priming amount by weight by 0.82

There are some unfermentables in there, but that should be close enough.

I would be very careful adding "just a bit much" honey for priming. I've used honey in beer and cider and adding honey is like throwing gasoline on a fire. It's almost pure fermentable sugar. You can certainly prime with it, but don't go overboard. I would use a priming calculator like this one: http://www.northernbrewer.com/priming-sugar-calculator/
