Notes

This brew was designed around what grains my local shop had in stock. The goal was a lightly coloured, high alcohol braggot (a type of barley wine/mead.) I wanted 2-row to be the main grain, & the Avangard pre-ground was on the shelf; a 20L Caramel/Crystal (they had darker) milled in the store was a last minute addition. I ended up using 4lb of raw buckwheat honey + 2lb or raw wildflower honey, which took this from pale to well into the amber. I did want Kent Goldings to be front, and chose the nugget just cause. Love me some 71B for most of my meads, so went there here.

3rd day gravity reading: 1.032 (current ABV ~13% per the Hall Equation.) Too much hops at this point.

9th day gravity reading: 1.030. Keeping it in primary, adding the red star now. Well, really the lees from my hydromel. Hopefully this kickstarts some fermentation. If not, I will try a champagne yeast. Hops are strong, but in a really good way—my hop-head sister will love this if I can get the FG down.
