Priming with Honey
Anything I should be worried about? I’ve got around about 1 Cup of clover honey in 2 cups of water im going to boil for 10 minutes then rack on top of and bottle a Pale Ale.
Let me know if I should be aware of anything weird about it...
Thanks
Emily
"Honey is difficult to prime with because there is no standard for concentration. The gravity of honey is different jar to jar. To use honey, you will need to dilute it and measure its gravity with a hydrometer."
I highly doubt using a cup will be a problem, but I swear I saw the half-cup reference very recently (I was thinking about it in response to another question).
Thanks
Ashley
That sounds very appetizing, emily. I'd be curious to hear how it turned out.
(Even more curious to taste!)
I have used honey in a couple of my batches. In both of those batches I got a great head on the finished product. It might be worth the couple extra weeks. 
Did you notice any extra honey taste?
