So, this is my second attempt at getting this right (apparently I should have waited till flame out to put in the honey last time (using clover honey). So here's the recipe

3 gallons of water to start - Attempting to keep the steeping temperature near 160

I'm actually using leftovers from previous stout brews so here is what I have

6.5 lbs Maris Otter
1/2 lb Pale Malt 2 row
3/4 lb Roasted Barley
2 Oz Cascade hops (to be place in wort at beginning of boil)
3 lbs clover honey (to be added at flameout)
1 pkg (11g) of Nottingham Ale yeast

Steep grains for 90 minutes then sparge.
Boil for one hour
Add honey at flameout
Add hops at beginning of boil
 
OG = 1.060
Actually ended up adding the honey during cool down, not at flameout. Braincramp...
 
Actually, that's fine. The less heat honey is exposed to the less of its ephemeral character is lost.
For that matter, post-primary fermentation addition (of pasteurized honey) is probably the best bet...

Cheers!
