I often make honey wheat beers, and have been using 1/2 lb of honey malt per 5-5.5 gal batch, which usually puts me near the edge of the proper SRM. I don't get the honey taste I am after though, and will be using 2 lbs of honey malt next time. This will no doubt take me over that edge. I don't care a whole lot, but I do try to create my beers within their specs.
How do you guys work around such things as this?
The honey blonde I am brewing right now for a 4.5 gal batch has an SRM of 8* using 1 1/2 lbs of honey malt. A blonde should be no more than 6*.
