I brewed my first brag got–OG 1.12, FG 1.018. Used local honey and local hops. Problem: after setting up and doing my mash I noticed one problem…the local hops were more than 2 YEARS OLD!!! So I could have been more prepared, I realize that. The final braggot needs more bitterness to mellow the sweetness.
- How can I do that?
- Will Hop extract post boil give any bitterness, or will it only contribute aroma?
- Could I boil water and hops and add that back to the finished braggot?
Y’all are great. Always appreciate the help
