Get a real nice honey like Blue gum or yellow box. Don't buy the generic honey from the super market it doesn't have the best flavour profiles. You may have to pay a bit more for it though. If you want less honey flavour go for a lucurne as it has very little flavour, it's more like sugar syrup. Playing with honey can be an expencive exercise as it's not cheap. I have easy access to it but don't really like it in booze so I generally ferment my non saleable honey for neutrals ( I bet a heap of jaws just hit the ground :scared-eek: ) I have a 200ltr wash going now that was some honey that got water in it and was uneatable and even started fermenting itself. It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
I have heard of blokes smearing honey on the roof of their boiler or putting some watered down into a thumper as a way of getting flavour through. Never tryed it but could be worth a shot. I wouldn't put straight honey into a thumper as it may well cause back pressure.
