i read somewhere (though i cant remember where, hence why im writing this) that you can use honey as priming sugar, but it needs to be used in different proportions than, say, dextrose to avoid over-carbonation. would anyone know what this magic amount of honey would be (for a 5 gal batch)? Also, ive seen some posts on here about using honey and it seems that some are saying to add it during the boil...is one way preferable to another, or is it a matter of taste? will it add a different character depending on when i add it (boil vs. priming)? and lastly, someone told me not to waste money on expensive honeys for my brew, as the different flavors will not be imparted into the finished product, could someone verify this for me? thanks a lot guys
