Hi, I recently brewed a braggot (supposedly), this is the final recipe for a 2.5 gallon batch:
-Steep 2.2 pounds of malt in 8/10 of a gallon of water
-Boil steeped malt during one hour in 2 gallons of water, adding 1 ounce of hops 15 minutes from the end of the boil
-Add 3.3 pounds of honey during the cool down
-Add 1 packet of safale yeast at room temperature
My first question:
-after letting the batch ferment for two months, will this be a dry mead/braggot? or a sweet mead/braggot?
My second question:
-How can I make sure that the mead/braggot ends up carbonated in the bottle? By adding (carefully) sugar to each bottle before sealing?
I supposed this is going to be a dry braggot, and not a sweet one, but I can't be sure as I have never done one before...
