What to make?

[Bradzukie]

I have 3 pounds of orange blossom honey. What should I make? I brew all grain and I plan on ordering the ingredients next week. So anyone with suggestions as to what I should make, let me know! Thanks!

Honey wheat or a honey pale

Honey wheat is a personal favorite. Just brewed a pineapple honey wheat last month.

1 gallon of mead...

 

[bobbrews]

A dry Imperial IPA with 10-15% honey and a load of late addition hops / dryhops.

Just for the love of honey everywhere, don't boil/heat it...

 

[janitorjerm]

I have a good Brown ale recipe that uses honey

Just for the love of honey everywhere, don't boil/heat it...

So just add it to the fermenter at yeast pitching?

A little bit of honey malt goes a long way. I just used it for the first time and 1/2 lb was almost too much in a 1.094 iipa. And that's with 15 oz of citra simcoe and Amarillo!

Strong stuff

 

[Bradzukie]

Ok. I changed the honey malt to half a pound. Should I add some more hops to the boil? Maybe up it to an ounce at 5 and an ounce at flameout?

 

[Bradzukie]

So this is what im going with. Ill let you all know how it turns out. Thanks for the advice.

I would reduce the honey malt even more and bump up the late hops
