I've had good results steeping zest after the boil.

I've had good results steeping zest after the boil.

Interesting. Would you say this works better than adding at the last few mins of the boil?

450 g Rowse Honey

I'm drinking a beer that used Rowse Honey and love it. I primed with the stuff too.

I've tried a couple of honeys and this one is defs the best so far I reckon.

WLP002 starter chuging away nicely!
