Hello! In the past, when I was really new to brewing I thought I could handle AG, but had terrible results. I took a break, and really worked on getting extract down. Now that I feel confident with extract, and working out my own technique, I'm gonna venture back into an AG.
Another home brewer gave me this recipe for a Strawberry Honey Blonde Ale. I don't think it's missing any key ingredients, but I don't wanna bug him too much, so I figured I'd ask here.
What stage of the boil do you add the honey? Would it benefit in the beginning, middle or end?
I just ordered some brewing software -Promash and Beersmith (has not been delivered yet), which will hopefully help me hit my temps and gravity properly. I was hoping someone could check my numbers, just to make sure I'm the ball. I'm still in my planning stage, and hoping to brew this next week.
This site is such a great tool, and I greatly appreciate all the help and guidance. I'll be sure to pay it forward some day! Thanks!

7lbs of Pale malt
2lbs White wheat
0.5lbs of Crystal 10L
2.5 lbs of Honey
5 lbs of Strawberries
Boil:
1oz Williamette Hops for 60 mins
1/2 oz of Tettnanger for 15 mins
1/2 oz of Tettnanger for 5 mins
2lbs of chopped frozen strawberries at the end of boil.
Yeast: WLP001 fermenting at 70 degrees until 73-80% attenuation.
After initial fermentation is done, I'll rack the brew onto 3lbs of chopped frozen (and thawed) strawberries.
