A beekeeper asked me to make a reasonable batch of beer with his honey.
I've made a lot of beers before but never with honey. I have been puzzling for a long time; there should be a lot or little hops in contrast to the subtle taste of honey, it should be a beer with some but not too much body and light color. I want to use his honey for the good man but think that a real honey taste will not be tasty ...
I read that a 20% share of honey from the total landfilled grains is a good ratio. Is there anyone here who has (much) experience with it?
I want to make a 20 liter test brew before making the large batch. Does anyone have an idea for a rough setup with a grain yeast (seems safer than growing yeast for the 10 hl. batch)
