Blueberry and Late May.No matter the timeframe picked, I'll probably still do it late may. I'm moving in a couple of weeks.

I'll definitely do it if it's HT's Blueberry braggot, but I can't do it in April -- got the Mazer Cup taking up all my time for the next few weeks, and then I've gotta replenish my honey stocks. Early or late May, count me in!

I went with the BlueBerry Braggot in late May. That will give me time to amass all of the items I don't yet have.

I'm still trying to figure out my schedule with adding this to what I've already got planned, but I'll see what comes up.

Looks like HT's blueberry braggot is going to be the choice but we're spread pretty evenely on start dates. Any chance that some of the Early April votes were not for the Blueberry Braggot? If by chance they were for 'Don't Cry for me Spargentina' I would be interested in getting that going early and then get the Blueberry Braggot going at the end of May.As of now I'm more inclined to push the start towards the end of May to accomodate more peoples schedules.

Where can I find the 'Don't Cry for me Spargentina' recipe?

It's in The Compleat Meadmaker, by Ken Schramm. We're checking on being able to republish the recipe here.

I think it's in the text, as opposed to in the recipe section at the back. Check the braggot section?

Yep p.154-155, but it doesn't give the expected OG and FG. Does anyone who has brewed this have their numbers?

I voted for the blueberry braggot and late May, though I'm pretty flexible about both.

We'll be in with the Blueberry Braggot, but we'll be waiting for blueberry season to start. Gotta have fresh fruit.
