I make a blonde ale with ginger lime and by adding honey to the secondary.I use the honey specifically for flavor. I want to try replacing the honey with this malt. How much of this honey malt will give a noticeable honey flavor and aroma in a 5 gallon batch?
BEST ANSWER:I taste the grain every time just before I mill it. I’ve never gotten honey specially nor in the beer. To my palate it’s more like a sweeter grape nuts cereal. I do love it. I find Gambrinus is more malty and the Briess is more crystal sweet. Briess may be what you are looking for. I’ve used 5% Gambrinus hm in lighter flavored beers. Too much almost comes across more like sweet Munich than honey.

I use honey and gambrinus malt—honey flavor varies, so have to adjust, also putting it in primary, secondary, tertiary and , bottling prime, amount matters. Flavor survives late ferment additions best. Gambrinus isnt full honey sub so blend.
I don't have a recipe for this but with homebrewing you can't go wrong. What is the worst thing that is going to happen? Slightly different beer? I love to try new stuff and that is what this is for me. Next!!
If you do mostly malt extract brewing then you can't go wrong in using this malt, it smells like honey and it has a nice but not over powering flavor like the heavier colored malts. I also noticed that it gave my beer a sweeter smell but not much on the taste. Definitely one of my top favorites its a must try!
