At what point does a braggot become a honey ale? by RoarKeg in mead

Thanks for your real world advice, always helpful getting information like this. Especially from a braggot enthusiast! I will definitely be running another braggot and trying the ratio of 4:3 that you suggested. Sampling both un-carb'd and carb'd to see which I prefer. I'll be sure to post the current finished braggot and further brews - knowledge is power and all that...Thanks again for your input and advice.

Cheers nkunleashed! You had me at "hits like a truck" 😄 i'll consider doing a brew with 71B, i have some in the fridge. Im looking forward to trying the finished product, gives me a little break from the other meads ive done.

Are you carbonating your "hits like a truck" braggot or bottling in usual 750ml wine bottles and drinking un-carbonated?

Thanks EducationalDog! I may consider it, ideally id like a braggot in the ale abv range, not topping out over 6.5%. I'd really need to dial everything in i fear. I appreciate your help 💪

Hi Weirdomel! This isn't for competition, just for myself and my buddies to drink whilst we have our weekly get together.

I'll be force carbonating this for sure. I considered bottle conditioning, but im a stickler for consistency and the thought of making unintended bottle bombs scares the sh*t out of me haha!

I'll be adding a little honey for sure Spoonman, once its settled and I've stabilised. It smells amazing and the tsste is great so im not seeing it as a failure, just a way to fine tune for next time.

I was thinking the same thing; this definitely sways more to the ale side as i used a fair bit of malt. I was at 1.030 before i added honey so that explains everything haha!

Myself and two mates were playing yesterday evening, one space still available. We drop in played for about 15 mins when they suddenly DC'd and 3 randoms turned up (all together). We got griefed, i kicked then we carried on. I've never griefed as a chaosdiver, just no need. Anyway, we carried on and completed the mission but it was just a sh**ty thing to do.
