I suppose it could also be added in the last 5 minutes for extra flavor, as most of the honey-ness will be boiled off and you will be left with just the sugars. DME, I add half at the beginning of the boil, and half at the last 10 minutes. Honey malt is steeped prior to boil with a grain bag for 30 minutes, then removed before the boil starts. The orange peel and coriander added to the last 10 minutes of the boil, using a small hops bag. Squeezing the hops just means pulling it out after the boil and getting all the juices out of it. It is VERY hot at this point, I used to big kitchen spoons or spatulas. I'd just skip that step. There is enough flavor in the batch anyway. Yes, target your water for 5 gallons, accounting for boil off. Have fun brewing!! I was adding the honey before the boil, that’s all.

So pardon if I ask dumb questions. You mention 'steeping' wild flower honey. Do you add that to 150 degree water for 30 minutes to dissolve? I associate steeping with something I can remove. When do you add the DME? Also, the honey malt, is that steeped during the boil? The orange peel and coriander for 10min. Is that steeped the last 10 minutes of boil? or 10min during what point? Not sure what you meant by squeezing the hops. Last but not least, I can just target my water to yield 5g when I start primary? Thanks in advanced for your answers. Like I mentioned I recently am getting into this and am learning a lot. It's fun and the rewards are tasty. Cheers, Noah Hi Larry,

I'd reduce the priming sugar to 4oz, since there is a lot of yeast in suspension (Hefeweizen yeast does that), you won't have any problem getting carbonation. Have fun!

Let ya know how it turns out.. looks like a tasty recipe. I will be using an extra pound of rice solides to pump up the alchol content. Let ya know how it turns out.. looks like a tasty recipe.
