[THELAW]

I'm new to brewing been mostly wine & mead now i would like to make a dark bragot using dme & some honey grain as a partial mash. i think i understand the concept. i want to try a small batch 1st dont want to waste 5 gal of something i maynot like.
does anyone have a recipe they want to share?
i like guiness & would like to make something like it.

Why dont you just make a Guinness.......Is that what your after....Or do you want a Braggot like Guinness? Stouts are not that complicated

A dark Bragot sounds really interesting. It's definitely out of the ordinary. I say go for it!

Since I see you are a new brewer, why not buy a stout kit from an online supplier and add, maybe 3 pounds of honey. See what you get.

Actually, since you have some ingredients, just go to www.northernbrewer.com and they will tell you what their stout recipe is. Take their recipe, cut the ingredients by 50% (except for the black barley/malt. Keep the same amount of that) and add 3 pounds of honey

It will be thin, watery, dark, and honeylike. I'd imagine it'd be something like a strong porter with honey. LOL

Why not get a Guiness clone kit, brew it up, then split off a gallon into a smaller fermenter and add a pound of honey? Then you would have both.

Thanks Guys. I Think I Will Get A Guiness Kit & Try Brewing From That And Take 1 Gallon Like Suggested & See What Happens I Might Add Some Honey Malt To The Gallon
Thanks Again. Tom
