Notes

Sanitize your gear, duh! Bring at least a half gallon of water to boil, remove from heat. Add DME's and stir to dissolve. Add honey and stir until combined. Some folks suggest boiling the scum out of the honey once combined, but I've had good luck otherwise. Cool the wort. While cooling, load your fermenter with a gallon of room temperature bottled spring or purified water. When cooled, add wort to fermenter, prep and pitch your yeast.

Secure an airlock and let ferment in cool dark place for 2 to 3 weeks. Next you have a choice; bottle unprimed for a still/ slightly carbonated braggot, or prime bottles with 1 tsp of honey or sugar per bottle to get a sparkling braggot. Once bottled, I suggest letting it age for a month. After aging, sparkling should be cold conditioned for 2 weeks minimum. Still braggot can be chilled or serve room temperature.

Enjoy!
