My miss's bought me a kilo of Honey, and I was thinking of chucking it in my next brew.
A tin of Cascades Spicy Ghost Draght
1 kilo of dextrose
1 kilo of honey
any reason why not?

1kg to me seems excessive.
I'd use 1/3 LME, 1/3 WME, 1/3 Honey.
Some cascade hops perhaps.
S05 =Yeast.
Bulk prime with honey.

How much honey would you use to bulk prime with?

This should help.
I use the lower end of the medium priming.

+ 1 on the honey & cascade combo.
Works a treat and should be just the thing to improve the Spicy Ghost.
Bulk priming with honey is a great way to increase the honey flavour of your brew. I would taste it before priming to make sure you don't over-honey it.
Cheers,
Tim
