Fermentation Times When Brewing With Honey?

[Paddle_Head]

Currently got this kit brewing for about a week+ now:

Which uses 1lb of honey in a 5 gal batch. I followed the kit instructions which call for adding the honey at the start of the 1hr boil with the other malt ingredients.

However, I was reading the Beer Smith blog and their post on Honey:

In addition to the different heating recomendations, talk about the increased fermentation time from Honey due to the complexity of the carbohydrate profile. Not sure if the one hour boil would cleave those carb chains or not.

I was originally planning on giving this ~3weeks in primary (~60F), and if the SG was stable, bottle it up. Does that still sound like a reasonable plan, or should I plan on this taking a little longer?

Sounds reasonable, but let the SG be your guide.

When I brew with honey, I add the honey at flame-out and it takes a long time to ferment out. I'm not the best at using a hydrometer to determine when to bottle or keg, but this is one time I would absolutely make sure I took gravity readings before bottling.
