Cooking with Pykkle

Braggot (Honey-Beer)

A beverage that hits you with some honey first, then fills your mouth with malty goodness. The perfect blend between mead and beer.

Ingredients

Braggot

Carbonation

Procedures

Create Wort

  1. Sanitize all equipment
  2. Dissolve Malt Extract
    • Heat half the water in a large stock pot
    • Dissolve the malt extract and bring to a boil. Be warned, it can boil over, so be prepared to quickly take off heat to stop or to clean up
    • Add 0.2 oz hops
    • Boil for 30 minutes
  3. Add Honey
    • Warm up your honey and mix in well
  4. Transfer and Pitch Yeast
    • Add more spring water up to 1 gal (3785.5g), and mix well
    • The specific gravity should be 1.070 (which will yield a final ABV of 10%)
    • Add the yeast nutrient and mix
  5. Cool to below 100 °F
  6. Sprinkle the yeast on top to pitch

Fermentation and Bottling

  1. Ferment
    • Seal jar with an airlock and wait 2 weeks to a month
    • Once specific gravity has stabilized (should reach 1.000), you are ready to bottle
  2. Bottle and Carbonate
    • Siphon your braggot into sanitized pressure-safe bottles
    • Drop one carbonation pellet in and seal
    • Wait 2 weeks for carbonation
    • Chill in fridge for an hour before drinking to reduce pressure
  3. Enjoy!
