Using wildflower honey, dark liquid malt extract, chocolate malt, cacao nibs soaked in vodka, and Tettnang hops, this homemade braggot developed into something surprisingly bold, bitter, and incredibly complex. Think dark chocolate, roasted malt, coffee notes, and IPA-like bitterness all packed into an 8% ABV carbonated brew.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make a braggot at home, experiment with chocolate mead, or try farmhouse-style no-boil brewing, this recipe is a fun and educational ride from fermentation to tasting.
Ingredients:
🍯 12 oz (340 g) wildflower honey
🍺 12 oz (340 g) dark liquid malt extract: https://amzn.to/4dnMHnG
