I stumbled on this post (as many do). And I am about to ferment about 64# of cherries I just yielded from my Cherry tree in my front yard. This post and the comments gave me a lot information I was looking for! I'm even more confident than I was this afternoon. Prost!
I have made many a Braggot. When working with honey and wanting the actual honey to shine through, I suggest that you go with a yeast like Nottingham which won't go into overdrive but will go nice and clean. Just give it a couple months to settle out. I think my nice Braggot will be a "Burnt...
I've been meaning to get around to purchasing a few things from BobbyM's site and tonight I finally got a moment to sit down and order some stuff. And low and behold his site is undergoing upgrades. Oh well, another day will bring me success I suppose. Great stuff at www.Brewhardware.com
Just saw this thread and figured I'd chime in. I ordered sightglass, a number of fittings, and a RIMS setup from Bobby M earlier in the year and I have been nothing but happy. His products are ROCK SOLID!!! You can't go wrong ordering from www.brewhardware.com. And no, I don't work for Bobby...

Honestly, I would just order the Coolbot and call it good. Too much research and development has gone into these products for me to second guess the results at the cost of a few extra bucks. Is it some bucks? Yeah. Is it worth to me when considering the extra hassle, work, missed brew...
Yeah, my plane ticket in a few months to stop by and give a "taste test" for ya. Sounds like you have a solid game plan in place. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Subscribed!
