Rabbit Hat Braggot

Perm Link
Note: 
Clone of Magic Hat's Braggot. Also base for sangre de la tierra 2.0. Planning to split into two 2.5gal of pure braggot and beet braggot.

This was a winner - rave reviews.

-------
This didn't account for the honey. An oversight I assume? Added honey back in to calc.

total=12; 0.7*(39*(total/3.0) + 37*(total*2/3.0))/5.0 + 2.8*35/5.0 = 83

note: 
Actual Protein Rest: 130F
Actual Sacc Rest: 185F => 152F
Actual Sparge: Maybe 4qts, added 1gal water to boil

Sacc rest went ~45min because it didn't seem to be converting well. Ending initial gravity is much higher than expected tho (again I didn't account for the honey in the calc which doesn't make any sense)
