| Honey Porter in search of hops The recent thread on a Maple Porter gave me an idea.
According to my Mead Calculator, 1.8 kg of a John Bull
prehopped extract plus 6 lbs of Orange Blossom will
yield a Braggot must with an OG of 1.074. I suspect
that is high - will be more like 1.070 - 1.072.
Let's skip the flavoring and the aroma hops since the
honey will do that. What about bittering hops?
Somewhere I read it does not matter which hops you use
foor bittering. Unless I read that from a knowledgeable
person, I have difficulty believing it. So I ask which
bittering hops should I use? It will have to be a hops
tea.
