Ale Mead (Braggot)

Origin: British      Period: Traditional



Share on Facebook

This is somewhat of an oddity as it's a high-strength mead that uses some of the ingredients used in making ales to produce an unusual but tasty variant.

Ingredients:

5l of unchlorinated water
2 kg wildflower honey (a heather honey would be excellent, but any wildflower honey will suffice)
1.5 kg light malt extract
2 lemons, sliced
30g Cascade finishing hops
30g Fuggles finishing hops
Yeast (Epernay II is good but champagne yeast would also work)

Method:

Preparation

As with most of the other recipes here, this has been gauged to make 5l of mead. Only a basic listing of ingredients is given, and for a brewing method please see this page for a step-by-step guide. Also see this page for a list of the equipment you'll need.

Follow the instructions given in the basic extract brewing page to make your mead whilst the must is still boiling add the finishing hops. Take the pot off the heat after five minutes and remove the hops. Add the sliced lemon and keep in the mixture for 30 minutes then take the slices out. Allow the must to cool and continue as normal. This is not a 'short' mead, and you can follow the recipe given for my 'standard' basic mead exactly. Again, this is a wine-like mead, and once bottled needs to be left to mature for at least a year.
