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

4/19 - OG 1.064
4/27 - FG 1.006
5/18 - Bottled; some floating colonies of possibly contaminant yeast at and just below the surface. Very strong banana flavored esters present - quite pleasant.

Brew: Grain mix added to 2.5 gal hot water and brought to boil. Reduced to simmer and held for ~15 minutes. Removed grain and returned to heat. Whisked in DME and continued to stir for ~15 minutes past boiling. Poured onto 6lbs crystallized wildflower honey. Mixed thoroughly and topped up to 5.5 gal with cold water. Mixed in nutrients & aerated. Pitched yeast at 100 F (rather than let must sit overnight to cool)

Nutrient Schedule:
Day 0 (brew +0 hours) - 3/8tsp
Day 1 (brew +8 hours) - 2/8 tsp
Day 2 (brew +36 hours) - 1/8 tsp
Day 4 (70% completion) - 2/8 tsp
1 tsp total of standard nutrient mix (1 to 2 ratio of fermaid K to GoFerm)

Fining: After fermenting, braggot was reddish-gold and very cloudy. .75 tsp of gelatin finings were added to 1 cup cold water and allowed to sit for 2 hours. Gelatin fining mix was poured directly into primary fermentor.

Bottling: Bottles were sanitized, then the bottling bucket and equipment were sanitized along with caps. 3.4oz table sugar was dissolved in 1 cup water and brought to a boil for 5 minutes. Priming syrup was added to bottling bucket and the braggot racked onto it. Bottles were filled and capped. Final volume was 4.3 gal.
