Honey malt in a pale ale?

[SailorJerry]

Just curious what everyone thinks about throwing some honey malt into a pale ale. The recipe I currently have is pretty basic, just mostly 2-row, some crystal, caravienne malt, and hoping w/ cascades.

I think it would add a little better flavor and up the ABV, just curious what the experts think

Thanks!

I am no expert, but... I'd do it.

not an expert either, but I typically add honey malt to my house pale (only about .25-.5 lb though). Adds a little something extra, but it would be very easy to overdo it.

Do they make a honey grain? It's an AG batch...

Yup - were you referring to something different when you mentioned "honey malt"?

I'm guessing that we're talking about the same thing, BTW.

No, I meant honey grain, just typed malt as the guys I used to brew w/ and the brewing I do is extract brewing, and this is an AG batch. Just wanted to clarify my post

Thanks for the info!

I added honey malt to my honey wheat, which really upped the sweetness. Almost a little too much. Be careful with it, but it is tasty.

Maybe replace the crystal malt with honey malt.

I've made an AG version of this https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/bbd-brewing-kabes-secret-apa-139831/

It was pretty tasty.

I believe the Kona Fire Walk PA has honey malt, check the recipe section.

I'm going to use that recipe next.
