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.
1. How can I do that?
2. Will Hop extract post boil give any bitterness, or will it only contribute aroma?
3. Could I boil water and hops and add that back to the finished braggot?
Y'all are great. Always appreciate the help
