hello, I am trying to brew a honey wheat ale. I used 1 lb of buckwheat honey at five minutes left in the boil. I would like a hint of honey in the finish but do not want the beer sweet. I tasted it out of the primary as I was transferring it and there was no taste of honey at all. It is however, a very pretty honey color. Wondering if I bottle with honey will any of that flavor transfer?
Here is the recipe that I used I was afraid to use honey malt because I heard that it could make the beer sweet.
1 lb Buckwheat Honey (1.0 SRM) Five minutes left in the boil
12.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L
8.0 oz Biscuit Malt (23.0 SRM)
6 lbs 9.6 oz Bavarian Wheat Extract
1.50 oz Goldings, East Kent
2.00 tsp Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate)
1.50 oz Fuggles Added one minute left in the boil.
1.0 pkg East Coast Ale (White Labs #WLP008)
