G'day folks,
I want to try my hand at a braggot and was wondering what people thought about the following recipe and method:
3 pounds honey
3 pounds DME (light malt)
8 ounces hops (generic variety - maybe fruity)
Nottingham Yeast (prepared with starter)
Boil DME in about 2 gals water for an hour
Add about 8 ounces of hops at 45 min, 55 min and 1 hour and at cooling (maybe called flameout)
Once cooled add honey to must and treat like a mead with SNA etc.
I know nothing about beer brewing so don't know what the separate additions of hops do, or what impact the malt has or anything. Most of the posts on here assume previous knowledge of beer brewing and basically adding mead ingredients to the brew. I think this would help those of us with no beer brewing experience.
Thanks all
