So I generally make mead, but i've been dabbling a good amount in Braggots and darker beers but i had a stroke of inspiration a couple days ago while at work (pool chef at a country club). I was making Candied Pecans and it struck me! This would be amazing for a beer! so i tried to look up some recipes and didnt find anything so i've thrown together a recipe and want some experience Beer brewers (anyone on this forum) to give me some feed back.
Caramelize 3/4 cup of Maple Syrup until dark and rich, about 1 hour on med low heat.
add 3/4 of a pound of Wheat malt extract to the wort
add 1/4 of a pound of Dry Dark Malt Extract
roast for about 45 minutes 1/3 - 1/2 pound of chopped pecan
So the wort at the beginning would have the caramelized Maple, the Wheat Malt extract and the DDME. then after it starts to slow down i'll add the toasted pecans that i will have probably crush into a powder in about a cup or 2 of water so it will add nicely to the carboy.
after about 3-4 weeks move to secondary and add a hop, what kind would you all suggest?
the product will probably be about 1.069 in starting gravity, and end at about 1.006-1.010 leaving me with about 8% im hoping it wont be too dark and will have a nice froffy head.
I'll take any suggestions i can get!
