Notes: IMPORTANT: Add honey at end of boil, flame out.

The whirlpool herbs (hop list) is a steep of no less than 10 mins or more added end of Boil.

I use a nylon mesh straining bag that I can add herbs to through out the process.

Ancient Notes:
This is a conversion of my Wee Heavy / Scotch Ale Braggot. Instead of Hops it's using more ancient traditional herbs. The Heather is considered for bittering while Meadowsweet is also commonly found in mead and ales.

You can add .10 Kent Golding Hops at 60 mins to get more modern bittering effect.

This is an experimental recipe! Built using tea tests. It may need tweaking to get the herbs flavors to show or maybe reduce them!

Optional: Remove Meadow Sweet for Heather only ale.
Optional: Dry hop with Heather after fermentation.
Optional: Skip Co2 phase because most likely ancient ales were flat :( I'll be carbonating.

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.

Do a Yeast starter using 6g of GoFerm and 5g Safale yeast early into brew so it has time to start.

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. You may need to add more water as you go to keep in line. Use a dip stick to measure.

Notes: This recipe is nearly the same recipe out of the John Palmer book - "Brewing Classic Styles".
Items I changed or added:
+Melanoidin malt - was not in original recipe
+Increased Honey Malt from 6oz to 8 oz
+Increased Bittering Hops from .75 oz to 1 oz
+The base malt was originally only British malt but I am a poor bastard and I didnt want to go that route so I split it up. It called for slightly more than a pound less than I have but wanted the gravity to be high and still be in style.
_____________________________________________

Tasting Notes:
3/25 - Let this beer sit for a while. I had tastes of it a month ago and it was still young and sweet. The malt really came into its own and was worth the wait. You get just a touch of the really dark caramel/crystal flavor with a lot of sweet bready taste from the Maris Otter and Honey Malt. Would make this again seasonally.

v1 review
This beer is smooth and amazing. Would brew again. The only negative is that it is a little more black than brown.

v2 notes:
going for a little less dark of a beer here.

v2 review:
this beer is good but I would bring back a little more of the dark coffee taste to it.

Notes: biterness slightly high, I want to lager this beer. Styrian goldings' spiciness well accommodated by dubbel and quadrupel.

Should be not too dark, rather deep brown.
huge dark fruits, prunes, raisins, figs, dates, grapes. Slight oakiness.

Focus on the quality of candy sugar! Dark fruits come from there, only followed by caramel from malt.
Perhaps exchange some pale ale to lighten the color and accommodate more specialty malt.

Keep the grain bill simple, most of the color comes from caramelized sugar (but not burnt!). don't be afraid of long boil - 120-150 min to enrich in melanoidins.

Fermentation temp. Start at 14C, increase over 14 days to 25C. Secondary at 10C for 6weeks . Fill the south african rum barrel and age for 9 weeks. Bottle condition for 12 months.

Yielded 30L of wort at 1.084 before candy syrup addition. Efficiency 83%.

Notes after fermentation: After 15 days of primary d = 1.021. Secondary in the room at 16C. Yeast look very healthy.
after additional 10 days(17.10.2015), gravity still 1.021. Racked off to a glass carboy, brandy-oak wood added and 0.5g of potassium metabisulfite.
03.05.2016. Still sitting in the carboy with wood. D = 1.011 (check before bottling). pH 4.4. estimated 11%

Notes: Last year (2017) I used 40% Vienna and it was tasty. This year (2018) I might go with 25% Munich which will be about the same color and we'll see how the flavor profile turns out.

2018-8-2 tweaked the recipe a bit to match Helles Exportbier for a 2fer.

2019: pils + ~30% munich

2022: 15% munich; going a bit lighter with the munich
72g split between saphir and tettnang turns this into a pilsner! not a bad thing, but altering the recipe to 2g/L instead of 3 and changed to Mittelfruh. also changed munich back to ~30%

2024: did about 12% munich and was more of a pils still. planning on some test batches with 20% munich plus some late hops to get a more malty and hoppy end result and still be helles-like.
