hey all, about to bottle my first pale ale.
used corn sugar in my last batch (wheat beer), didn't go as planned. might have not mixed well enough after racking the beer on top, but not entirely sure.
question: how much honey do you guys use and how much water do you add to the bottling solution?
i've done some research and it varies from some people saying 3tblspoons per gallon (which turns out to be 1 cup of honey total for 5 gallons of beer), while the northernbrewer priming calculator tells me to use .43 of a cup for 5 gallons. i bottled a one gallon batch of a brooklyn brew shop IPA kit with 3tblspoons/1 gallon and it worked amazingly, just curious for outside input. thanks!
