Going to brew a honey nut extract kit. There are a lot of opinions on when to add the honey to the wort. Anyone have any personal experience?
Quaker said:I prefer adding honey a few days into fermentation, before it really slows down, but there is already some alcohol present.
And I have used honey malt a couple times. It definitely has the flavor of honey which comes through. I can't say there's much noticeable honey flavor at all from actual honey, at least the typical lighter varieties.
