By honey malt do you mean Gamrinus Honey malt? If so, I think it is a crystal malt of about 25 lovibond. Use as you would any other crystal malt. Mark Hafterson Don’t let your beer be a stranger. HOMEBREW!

Gambrinus Honey Malt is NOT a caramel/crystal malt. Unlike crystal malts honey malt is not roasted, so there is no potential for astringency. Color is 20-30 L. This is Gambrinus’ version of an old German malt, bruhmalt. Very, very sweet and a really wonderful way to increase color and sweetness in the beer. I used some in a 1.065 beer around Christmas time and it was truly delicious. I highly recommend it for brewing amber ales; good color and excellent flavor. –Jeff Frane
