duboman said:You can add honey at flameout or during active fermentation.
That being said honey also raises the ABv and drys the beer out. In changing the construction of the recipe you are not taking into account the overall balance intended. IMO you don't add the honey
sweed said:Could you tell us what the original recipe is? If it had sugar in it already, I would only add more dme to it to bump the abv, and then maybe add some extra hops to balance it. Maybe use the honey for bottling?
