Priming with honey

[devilssoninlaw]

I’m getting ready to start a batch of NB’s Honey Brown Ale. I was thinking of priming it with Honey and had some questions,

Will the honey primer enhance the flavor of honey or will it ferment out?

Should I boil it down with water to thin it out before adding it to the bottling bucket?

If you have used honey, how much did you use for 5 gallons? ( I realize there’s variables with different honey’s that wouldn’t make it as consistent as processed sugar)

Thanks!!

Someone else just had the same question. Check it out:

Honey as priming sugar

Just transferred my raspberry wheat to secondary fermentation, and I’m planning for my next brew day. Next up: NB Honey Brown Ale Kit is pretty straightforward, but I want to maximize the honey aroma. I’ve found a few mentions of people using honey as priming sugar at bottling. Thoughts? Will this boost the honey aroma? How much should I use for a 5gal batch?

Bottom line is to just use sugar. Honey will be more difficult, add no flavor and be more expensive.
