I am waiting for your rating, this recipe looks good!. Is there a reason why you did not boil the honey for at least 15 minutes? I have read that is a most to kill any inpurities within the honey. Correct me please...

the quick sip i took while racking into the secondary was pretty good. just bitter enough, yet sweet enough to balance the bitterness. i didn't boil it for a long time since i wanted to keep the good parts of the honey (taste & aroma), and since it was added right after removing from the heat at a low boil, anything bad would have been killed. i'll know more in about 6 weeks, after the time in secondary, and bottle conditioning. big believer in natural carbonation here. besides, if you've gotta force it... =)

I hope it turns out well. I know it is kind of early to tell , but, did you notice any honey aroma?. I really like the simplicity of this recipe.

there was some there, but i have a heck of a time smelling subtle things. i bottled it either very very late saturday night, or very very early sunday morning. we shall see what happens in about a week or so.

And found out that because of the high concentration of honey, it is almost imposible for impurities to survive in honey. It's been known to add honey in secondary also to increase honey flavors and aroma. I might try out your recipe with a couple of twicks. 1. I will replace the black patent for dehusked Weyermann Carafa III (I don't like the harsh flavors of it). 2. I will add 1 lb of honey as you stated, and another pound of it in secondary for 2 weeks before botteling. I will post a review.
