Modified Newcastle Clone

Modified version of http://beertools.com/html/recipe.php?view=2687 tweaked the grain and boosted the alcohol with Honey. Probably won't taste like Newcastle, but should be a pretty good Honey Brown.

Didn't get down to the gravity I was trying for so it was a bit sweet, and came out really dark. Probably wouldn't happen with only 1 lb of honey. Might wanna bring the American black roast down to .5 lbs too.
ok great...

I will change the quantities as you suggested. did you mix the honey with extract and boil it or mixed honey last 10 minutse of boil or when? Also did you steep grains at 155F for 30 minutes or different setting? Thanks for your reply, e.
Honey

Yes, 155F/30Min, I usually add honey towards the end of the boil.
