How to add more honey to my honey ale?

I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about adding more honey to my honey ale. I recently purchased the White House Honey Ale kit from Northern Brewer and I'm seeing several reviews saying the honey flavor doesn't come through very well. It's a 1 gallon brew kit and has no secondary fermentation.

When/how would I go about adding more honey without the concern of the yeast just turning it into alchohol and leaving behind none of the honey flavor?

Weyermanns Abbey Malt adds honey flavour and aroma. There are other Honey Malts available, but I have not used them.

Add the malt to your mash or do a steep (depending on if your kit is all grain or extract).


Honey is 100% sugar and will be entirely consumed by the yeast in your beer.

I've made mead a couple times with different varieties of honey. The honey flavor left after the fermentation is a very mild and dry sweetness, nothing like the flavor of raw honey.
