Question on honey wax

[brewd00d]

I have a honey Kölsch. It comes with 1lb of clover honey. i happen to have raw clover honey, which is the honey comb and everything.

Im curious if i put the whole thing in and let it ferment the honey, if the wax would have a negative effect on the beer. Its not a huge deal, but im not looking to go out of the way to extract the honey from the comb.

NOt really worth the trouble because fully fermented honey adds little to no flavor.

When I get honey from a tree or house I usually make mead with it. If you just squeeze the wax a bit underwater for a few minutes the was floats up to the top.

But putting comb into water without crushing it will keep the honey from disolving for quite some time; even as long as natural fermentation to take place, as in several days.
