Honey added at the wrong time?

[Egarl004]

Ok... So Im working on my second home brew. First was a kit which elevated my interest exponentially. So I wanted to do something a little harder.

I chose to do an orange blossom amber which called for the addition of .62 cups of honey prior to bottling. Well I added it just before putting it in the primary carboy.

Now after putting it into the secondary carboy I realize that the honey was supposed to be used for carbonation in place of the sugar.

Question is... Do I use 5oz of sugar now for bottling or another .62 cups of honey? Thanks for all the help. Even if I screwed this sideways.

no big deal, just add your priming sugar and go. the little bit you put in the primary just bumped up your alcohol content a miniscule amount.

When you add honey to primary, you are going to lose the honey aroma because it will be lost with the escaping co2 bubbles. Like east said, you bumped up your alcohol content a tad. You could use either the honey or the priming sugar for bottling; your call on that one. It wouldn't hurt to use the honey if you want to grab a hint of honey in the finished product.
