I managed to get a day off today so I thought I'd get another honey beer on the go. The last one I made was way too subtle in honey taste so I've added more to compensate on this one. It's also something of a using up brew as some of the ingredients I was left with were of so little I just chucked them in the mash.

All in the FV now had a taste of the sample and it's just what I'm looking for, a big honey kick. No photos today as the wife has taken the camera to a breeder friend of hers to photograph some Porcelain Sussex chicks I'm interested in. All in all a satisfactory brewday although it would have been nicer to brew outside but that would've been risking ash pollen in the brew , which is a big fat no-no in my book

Sounds like a good one.
I will be making my yearly honeybrew effort in June.

Let us know how this turns out.

Cheers Iowalad, Daab not a fan of Honey beers then

Sounds great SS, it's got me wanting to brew a honey beer now

Started going wild after two hours and still bubbling like a good un and I've just split up the slurry of the LP clone I did a few weeks ago. A productive night for me for a change

Great to see all went well ss
I'll be interested to know what you think, a honey beer's been on the cards for a while.

Finished at 1011 so that's 6% ABV by my calculations. Out of secondary and in into corni and a few bottles about 10 minutes ago. Samples tastes fantastic

nice one

I think i need to do a honey beer, they're ace
