I have made two braggots with extract. Soon I will become an all grain brewer, end of summer hopefully, and a braggot is on the top of the lists.
The thought just occurred to me of blending a braggot. Blend some ale and some mead with some active yeast and then bottle. Of course now that I think about it a little you would probably want to pay a lot of attention to the yeast being complinmentry .
Has anyone tried something like this? Does it sound like a good idea? I mean I still plan on brewing a traditional braggot but blending sounds kind of interesting. Especially if I have a mead I'm not particularly happy with at the moment. Or acutally at the moment I don't have the honey to brew a braggot, but I could make a wort, ferment it. Blend with the fore mentioned mead.
I haven't done any blending at all so this is really a shot in the dark for me. Now that I thought of all this I just added sorbate to said mead. Damn guess it will have to be flat?
Not really sure if this would be a braggot or not?
Anyways have fun with this guys, like to here some thoughts.
