Sorry I’m new to this. When you say adding the LME near the end of the boil are you referring the 5 liters of hops boiling?
And do you add the grain steep to the boil at flameout?
Thanks heaps.
Search for braggot, there’s plenty of recipes around. The honey adds a nice taste if that’s what you’re looking for. I haven’t found mine to be thin bodied, but def drier and higher ABV. But then again I make meads so that is my default.
Why boil? Isn’t the DME already boiled? Isn’t that how they get the powder? I add DME as part of a braggot and simply add it as part of the must and then stir it in. I’ve never encountered any problems and have made drinkable stuff.
