ended up with extra honey from mead, so thought maybe make a honey lager. never used honey in a beer, so     looking for some ideas on amount to use, how to use utilize it,  and recipe thoughts for a pale honey lager.

I have used up to 1# in a 5G batch. It dries it out pretty good. Flavor impact is subtle if any.   As I recall Beersmith did a pretty good job predicting the FG impact of adding the honey.

figured it would work similar yo belgian candy or other. iv ehad a few honey ales and lagers. my wife likes them and likes a local fat heads called bumbleberry quite well. its a honey ale with blueberry that's not too bad at all.

Either of Barry's whitehouse honey recipes are good.

I will look for them, thanks.

The earlier you add the honey in the process the less honey flavor/aroma will end up in the beer. I add a bit of honeymalt in any honey beer that I brew.

Friday I had some of the Robert Earl Keene Honey Pale ale that was great with authentic szechuan.. There was a honeyed finish in both flavor and mouthfeel to the beer.

Fairly sure they didn't accomplish that with just honey.

Best bet is to prime with honey.
