this is the second recipe i've seen today that calls for heating / burning honey . . . I make mead and never use heat, none at all. All my mead buddies say that heating honey kills a ton of flavor . . . thoughts?

3.3lbs of wheat extract. Honestly I meant to have the honey in there as well but it got to unmanageable. There is a loot of banana though, since I didn't just seep it, I left them all in
