Description
Adding honey to the boil can increase the final alcohol content, add a light honey flavor, or lighten the body of a beer if used as a replacement for malt extract. If added to the end of primary fermentation it can increase the alcohol content and add a more intense honey flavor and aroma.
Honey Brewing Values
These are the common ranges that we've seen with Honey over the years. Each manufacturer can have slightly different qualities, so these ranges are based on a combination and average.
| SRM SRM is a scale for measuring the color intensity of a beer. Low SRM values indicate a pale straw color while higher values mean the style should have a darker color. Learn more » |
1 SRM (1° Lovibond) |
|---|---|
| Diastatic Power Diastatic power (DP) is a measurement of a malted grain's enzymes, which are responsible for converting the grain's starches into sugar during mashing. |
|
| PPG PPG measures the maximum starting gravity (SG) of the fermentable in points/pound/gallon. This can differ based on your mash efficiency and the amount of wort collected. |
35 ppg (1.035 SG) |
| Batch Max Certain grains and adjuncts should only be used below a maximum percentage of the grain bill. Exceeding this can cause off flavors or poor mash efficiency. |
