I am going to do a Belgian Honey Blonde and a German

and have a couple questions.
My Belgian Honey Blonde calls for 1# of honey and 1# of Belgian Candi Sugar,
but does not say when to add either...
any ideas on when to add these? I was thinking of adding the Candi Sugar at
the beginning of the 60
min boil and the honey after the end of boil, letting the heat drop a
little, & cooking another 15 min. Any Ideas??
You can add either one any time during the boil, but your proposed schedule is a good one.
I like to minimize boiling the honey to keep more of the flavor and aroma from boiling
off. For both, I recommend pre-dissolving them in H20 rather than just dumping them into
the kettle. This will help prevent scorching on the bottle of the boil kettle.
