Anyone have a good Braggot recipe? I have 5 pounds of cheap Sam's club honey that I need to put to use and there aren't that many recipes out there...
Here's what I plan on doing. My Daughter wants an apple beer. I bought 1# of Amber Ale DME. I'll use 2# of honey also. Dissolve those in 1 Gal. boiled water. Return to heat. Boil for fifteen minutes. Cool the water in the sink with ice water. Add them to a gallon of 100% apple juice in the fermenter after sanitizing. Top off to 2 gallons. Proof my Ale yeast I bought when I got the DME. Pitch the yeast and agitate, wait three weeks or more. Bottle/prime and set aside for 2-3 weeks. Refrigerate for 48 hrs. minimum and drink. Hope for the best. Kind of a beer/mead/wine. Braggot?
See any problems anyone?
This goes in the fermenter right after I bottle my wheat beer.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
what ale yeast? if its a lower attenuating yeast, this is gonna end up very very sweet because there's so much sugar.
It won't be too beer-like without hops. It'd be somewhere between a cyser and a braggot...in the mead family since so much honey is being used.
