Notes: Steep in 1 gallon water @ 150F for 45 min
Primary 3 weeks.
Dry hop 7-10 days.
Bottle condition 2-3 weeks.
Pours a golden almost copper with a slight haze. Good head that stays to the end. Smells ridiculously hoppy with grapefruit and almost tropical tones. Taste is hop forward but with enough malt and mouthfeel to balance. Rye gives it a nice crispness. Tastes like a west coast style IPA. |

Notes: pick up irish moss
4 packets of yeast
the colder you start out, the less the diacetyl that is produced
Let it go for 12 hrs at 40 degrees. creep up to 50 degrees by 48 hrs
Steve's thoughts: I don't entirely agree with his fermentation method
mostly because normally you would actually do what's called a diacetyl rest
because SOME "will" be produced, so what you do is raise the temp after ferm is mostly finished, to let the yeast eat those byproducts basically
so you could follow his schedule, let it sit at 50 for a week or two, then raise to 65 or even 70 for 2 days to finish of the diacetyl
THEN down to lagering temps (close to freezing as you dare) |

Gyled and keg conditioned 3-14-14. Tapped on 3-22-14 Tastes great. Slight Haze, needs to chill completely. Will better with age.

Notes: IMPORTANT: Add honey at end of boil, flame out.
Wort Notes:
After 45-60 min Mash I sparged the BIAB with a pour over 32oz warm water. This makes total boil slightly more than 2 gallons.
Optional: Start of boil pull 2 cups wort and separately boil down into syrup. Then add this back in to the boiling wort.
Style Notes:
After lots of searching the feedback i got is a Scotch Ale or Wee Heavy is a good place to start for a Braggot. Recipe is Shooting for 50% honey so I can feel like it's a Braggot.
The Wee Heavy style suggests longer boil times to get more malty flavors. So I am starting with 2 gallons and a 90 minute boil, targeting 1 gallon. this also allows for the syrup above. You may need to add more water as you go to keep in line. Use a dip stick to measure.
I made a Yeast starter using 6g of GoFerm and 5g Safale yeast.
Finished Notes:
Wort ready at 1 gallon and SG of 1.080 NICE!
next time: Might swap Munich for Victory to see difference in dryness.
Turned out great at 1.010. Honey fermented clean (not too hot) I left in fermenter for 18 days before bottling. It was good and drinkable after being bottled for 3 weeks. I am told aging makes it even better so I will save the rest for a couple months.. |

Notes: Used 1 package (11.5 grams) of Safale s-04 - Fermentis -English Ale yeast.
The flavoring additions are all added to the secondary. Below are my methods for adding these additions:
Reserve three pints or so of the wort as you rack to the secondary.
After racking, make a slurry using the cocoa powder and one pint reserved wort. Boil the slurry stirring continuously to prevent scorching, then let cool. Add the cocoa/wort slurry to the secondary that day stirring gently to mix but not aerate/oxidize the wort.
After adding cocoa slurry, make a second, separate slurry using the PB2 (peanut butter powder) and two pints of reserved wort. Boil the slurry stirring continuously to prevent scorching, then let cool. Next mix 8 oz of vodka or other neutral spirit and put into a sanitized container and store until ready to add to secondary (about two weeks after racking to secondary).
After about a week in the secondary add the cacao nibs (soaked in vodka at least 24 hours before).
After six weeks in the secondary add two split vanilla beans (soaked in vodka at least 24 hours before) and let sit for another two weeks before packaging.
So to sum up: add the cocoa slurry the day of racking to the secondary; add the cacao nibs 1 week later; add the PB2 slurry a week later; add the vanilla beans one month later. Let sit for additional two weeks and package (so two months after racking to secondary). Let beer condition for another two months. It will take time fort he flavors to come together/mellow out, which is why it's best to let this one sit for awhile. |

2. After 14 days, then raise temperature to 57-62 F for remainder of fermentation.
3. When final gravity is reached, lager for 1 month:
- Begin at 45 F and decrease the temperature by two degrees every two days for 2 weeks until
a final temperature of 34 F is reached.
- Leave at 34 F for at least 2 weeks.
4. Bring beer to 60 F for 3 days prior to bottling to ensure fermentation is complete.

| Notes: Hit 155F on average. Pitched 2 packets of safale 04, maybe 3 in the future would be better? We shall see, might have to repitch some yeast to finish it off. Beer didn't attenuate as much as I would have wanted so I am going to pitch a starter of wyeast Scottish ale to get a bit more attenuation. Stalled at 1.040 and want it around 30. |
