Hi everyone, I recently brewed a wheat beer with this hop schedule: .75oz Centennial (9.7%) - 60 minutes .5oz Cascade (3.2%) - 15 minutes .5oz Cascade (3.2%) - 10 minutes 1oz Citra (14.5%) - 5 minutes I'm considering using orange blossom honey to prime but I was wondering if the honey flavor would be lost/overpowered by the hop character. Anyone have any idea if the honey would be worth it? Thank you!
It would be a few ounces of honey per five gallons of beer. How much character would you expect out of that, regardless of the hops?
I would expect not to taste the honey at all, except maybe in a very flavorless (otherwise) beer. IMO priming with honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, or anything other than table sugar would be a waste of money.
