What are your thoughts about honey in beer, i've used 10% in the boil and 200g for priming a keg before with good results, but i'd like to know what the best way is to get that honey to be prominent, not overpowering but obviously there.

Sorry Phil i can't seem to find out this and i was trying to compare. I've had some rouble carbonating with honey and this time i used 50g for a 5 gallon batch which worked ok but i think i'll up it to 60g next time. Definitely better than the bombs i was making My question is what does 5ml of honey per bottle equate to in a 5 gallon batch?Phil said:We had a honey beer night last month at our club.
I used heather honey as that was all I had. I added 5ml to each pint bottle as priming sugar while bottling a fairly standard pale ale. It was overpowering but then I don't like honey in beers.
If I had to do it again I'd use a milder, clear honey but I'd use the same method. By priming with honey you keep all the aromatics.
