Hello, I have this Bee honey I bought. I want to add it after primary fermentation but it has some bubbles in it, I am worried that this bubbles will produce oxidation to my beer. Has anyone done this? I am thinking of adding it at flameout instead.
Thank you.
 
This is the honey

@Todes, I do not see any bubbles in the picture. Instead, I see where the honey has started to crystalize. Oxidation is not an issue.

I would never add it after primary fermentation. Personally, I add it after flame out. You can add it to the primary fermenter, though I have never tried that. You must be careful when adding to the primary to get kill nasties before adding. Here is a link that may be helpful.

If you need to liquify the honey, below is a link that shows various methods that can be used. Personally, I use the warm bath method.

Good luck!
