I have plugged in the ingredients for a Nut Brown Ale recipe into Beersmith. One of the ingredients is 2 1/4 lbs of honey. When I hit the "preview brewsheet" button it has me putting the honey in the primary fermenter. I guess my question would be: For any beersmith recipe that includes honey is that actually the best time to add the honey, and if not, when is a generally accepted "best time" (i.e. add honey at the very end of the boil, or with no more than 5 or 10 minuted left in the boil? :-\ In working with honey to make mead, the overall feeling in every forum that I have read is that raw honey could have quite a few impurities in it and that boiling the honey would help, get rid of said impurities.
