I hope this isn't too stupid a question. (I am a "noob")

I wanted to experiment with some additional flavourings in my latest brew, and was pondering using Honey Malt, such as this.

But can someone tell me how I am supposed to use it? I see it listed as a "flavouring" on some other sites, yet it is a "malt"? So at what stage, and how, do I add it? Is it supposed to be thrown in right at the beginning, or is it something I only add in late fermentation?

Thanks

When using grains for a kit, you should steep them. That is the simplest. According to this question it is normally better to mash honey malt, but you can steep it too.

For steeping put your grains in a bag and add 1,5 l water of 65°C to it. Let it rest for half an hour, then replace part of the water needed for the kit with the amount of extract obtained by the steeping. Your honey malt will absorb some water.
