WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

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..
