I've been tinkering with a Gruit/Braggot type hybrid, more so gruit then braggot. I'm trying to match it close to the spicing that is used in spellbounds White Sage Gruit but going a little more smokey/sweet. I know it obviously has white sage, and uses some others spices as well. From what I can tell people thing it has black pepper in it and possibly mugwort. I've contacted them and am waiting to hear back to see if they may give any insight but here is my recipe as of now. Here's the recipe for a 1 gallon batch:
Ingredients
Amt Name Type # %/IBU
1 lbs Simpsons Gold Promise (2.5 SRM) Grain 1 46.5 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) Grain 2 23.3 %
4.0 oz Smoked Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 3 11.6 %
2.4 oz Pale Malt (6 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 4 7.0 %
2.00 g White Sage (Boil 45.0 mins) Herb 5 -
1-0.75 g(haven't decided) Mugwort (Boil 20.0 mins) Herb 6 -
0.25 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 mins) Herb 7 -
1.0 pkg SafAle English Ale (DCL/Fermentis #S-04) [23.66 ml] Yeast 8 -
4.0 oz Honey (1.0 SRM) Sugar 9 11.6 %
(Only would use a few to add a subtle taste oak/smokey, may not even do so depending on intial tastes) 0.20 oz Oak Chips (Secondary 7.0 days) Flavor 10 -
Gravity, Alcohol Content and Color
Est Original Gravity: 1.056 SG

Any opinions or suggestions are welcomed. Still trying to think if I should try black pepper.
