ok guys at one of the meetings about doing a big batch of bragot. ive looked in to honey from the guy i normally get it from up in taree. for his generic range (malley, white box, iron bark, clover and coolabah) i can get 15kgs for 90 bucks and for yellowbox its 110 bucks. i generally use coolabah and white box in my cysers. 15kgs should do around 150L or so depending on recipe.
so whats everyones thoughts on this idea. is it a goer?
 
any preference or just happy to go with the flow
 
Go with the flow. I will leave the choice to you as you have more of an idea of the flavour profiles that the honey will lend to the braggot.
 
Me too, as you know, barls. What base beer were you thinking of?

ok guys the honey has been ordered and ill be picking it up next weekend
 
Great stuff, barls. :super:

Looking forward to doing this batch soon. Need to work out exactly what to do. :)
 
ok just picked up 15kgs of whitebox honey for this when ever we are ready to organise it
 
Hey all,

I'm very keen to get gold of large volumes of honey - i've been dabbling in polish-style meads where I use almost a 1:1 ratio of honey to water. Let me know next time an order is being made!

Cheers,

Jon.
