Do you think 5 gal will serve 200? /s
These people (with help from media sycophants) are freaking liars.

Dark Sky Braggot 2010
5 gallons, grain and honey brew
Ingredients:
» 6 lbs. Maris Otter 2-row pale malt
» 1 lb. 20°L crystal malt
» 1 lb. honey malt
» 1 lb. Belgian Coffee/Special roast malt
» 5.5 lbs. honey
» 1 oz. Bravo hop pellets (11.3% aa)
» 1 oz. Sovereign hop pellets (5.7% aa)
» White Labs Australian Ale yeast (WLP009)
» 2/3 cup corn sugar (for priming)
1 standard batch = 5 gallons = 50 ea 12oz bottles +/-. So for “200 guests”, each one gets a whopping 3 ounces from a standard batch. BFD. Time for a REAL homebrew summit.
My Holiday brew (3 lbs honey in a 5-gallon batch) starts at ~1.075 and finishes at 1.010, ABV ~ 7.5%). A single pound of honey in a 5-gallon batch (unless it’s a piss-weak recipe to start, and maybe not even then) won’t do diddly. All for show, but no real contribution.
Come to think of it, that product is a fitting reflection of its promoter...
