YOU ARE WAYYYY OFF BASE!



I Effen LOVE IT!

I'm not sure I'm a Braggot Fan...but you might be changing my mind.

 

[tooomanycolors]

So which part am I completely off with, I am trying for a stout style braggot

 

[tooomanycolors]

oh and dark also

 

[BigKahuna]

Ummm....

I was drinking....I mean....Kidding.

Sounds pretty solid..>VERY AGGRESSIVE

 

[tooomanycolors]

yea, wonder if I can get this into the keg rotation...or if it works out I may go for beer bottles at 18-20% not to many in one shot.

Anyway if someone has some suggestions on how to make this high power stouty braggot, let em fly

I think I'd cut back on the CaraAroma and bump up the 2 row or whatever base malt you use. CaraAroma is a specialty grain rather than a base malt. Weyermann, the manufacturer, suggests not exceeding 15% of the grist. Also, most stouts would use black roasted barley rather than Carafa.

 

[tooomanycolors]

hmmmm, seeing as how I dont know all the beer terminology (grist?? is this the grain portion) I may have to consult my AG half on this.

 

[chrisr]

a hoppy mead the best of both worlds. Do it. be carefull

Holly BeJesus. Up the 2-row, down the caraaroma. And that is dark as all hell!!! awsome Do it , Do it!!!

updated the recipe, so new opinions?

 

[z987k]

down the cararoma more, it's a specialty grain, and since you wanted stout, well... in all reality you really need some chocolate malt, roasted barley, black patent, carafa III, or some combination of some of those.

 

[tooomanycolors]

finally you chimed in, cool so we can finalize this recipe and get it goin when I get back?
