My 2C, dont add the honey at the end of the boil, cool the wort and then add the honey. Make sure you buy cold extracted honey (the fresher the better). If you add the honey to hot wort you will distroy some of the subtle aromas. I have never made a braggot so I cant comment on the recipe there but I have made mead using no heat methods and have never had a problem.
 
ive made meads both ways but normally no heat as well. but in this case i believe its not going to make that much of a difference. btw the honey we wil be using is whitebox.

Woah! I've been meaning to make a mead, and if you're doing it on the day of the caseswap, then i'll be there with 21L of beer and a cube! ...And a maybe a few brews from the cellar too...
 
Can anyone be involved?

If so I'll throw my hand up.

What size cubes are you talking? Those 15L fresh wort ones?
 
I'd be keen for a cube too if its open to any attendees of the swap day. I presume we all just chip in for ingredients.

yeah that's how we (ISB) usually do it. We workout the cost of ingredients including gas and determine the cost /litre. this can then be applied to differing size cubes eg some have the 15l FWK cubes while others turn up with the blue Willow 20l jobbies.

Don't forget BYO cube.
 
Awesome, so I'm in.

Any IBU bretheren coming wanting to get into a bit of this, (fatgodzilla, cortez, grant) I am happy to ferment and bottle my cube and bring along to split up at the next IBU gathering down south...(as long as you trust me not to drink it first :ph34r: :D )

Hi Adrian
I've never experienced braggot, and have been resisting the urge to participate, but I love honey so I would be very happy to share your cube.

cheers

Grant
