I have been pondering on the thought of getting a mashtun and creating various beers (mainly braggots). Obviously the quantity is 5 gallons.
My idea:
create a braggot by creating a chocolate porter based wort and allowing the chemical reaction that darkens the beer to eat half of the sugar in mash, then fill the missing sugar with honey (creating a 50/50 maltose and honey based wort.
Does anyone have a recipe for this? I want the gravity to be around 1.040, preferably.
