Notes: This is a slighly hoppier modern version of Alexander Keiths IPA from Halifax, Nova Scotia.

If you want something close to the original ale version, try 0.25oz of Nugget and 0.25oz Columbus at 25 minutes and another 0.25oz of Nugget and 0.25oz Columbus at 20 minutes.

Notes: Step by Step
One week before brew day, get a WLP007 yeast starter going. When starter activity slows, decant the spent wort and add fresh wort.On brew day, crush the grains and place in two steeping bags. Steep the bags at 155 °F (68 °C) in 16 quarts (15 L) of water for 20 minutes. Rinse the grains with 2 quarts (2 L) of 170 °F (77 °C) hot water. Add dried malt extract (DME) and table sugar. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops at the specified times. Chill the wort to 70 °F (21 °C) and add water to achieve 5 gallons (19 L) of wort. Aerate the wort and add WLP007 starter (decanting the spent wort first). When fermentation slows, take a gravity reading and add WLP099 starter (if needed) to achieve a final specific gravity of 1.035. Keg or bottle carbonate, aiming for a carbonation level of 2.0–2.2 volumes of CO2. Once carbonated, condition at cellar temperature for several months. Flavor should peak at about one year and remain there for at least another year.

Tips for Success:
Pitching plenty of healthy yeast is paramount for a high gravity brew. When in doubt, pitch more. Be patient with the fermentation and conditioning process. Beer doesn't have a schedule. For bottle carbonation, pitch fresh yeast at bottling time if the WLP099 wasn't needed during the brew day. Give the bottles adequate time to carbonate. This beer needs to age, anyway. You'll thank me later for saving it until its peak. If you would like, try aging this beer in a bourbon barrel. How long to barrel condition is a matter of individual taste. Our club likes a full bourbon flavor, so we age the beer for several months. We don't worry about temperature. The barrel's alive, and varying temperatures allow the wood to expand and contract, imparting those wonderful oak and bourbon flavors.

Beer was a little hazy.
Taste was really nice.
Photo of the first bottle opened one week after bottling. Taste is a little young (ofcourse) but this will grow a really fine beer. Brew like a Monk haha.

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: 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%
