Notes: Primary fermentation at 72 degrees. Racked to secondary for 2 weeks at 68 degrees. Final gravity 1.012.
I have been plagued several times by liquid malt extract that claims to be "light" when it's more pale or amber colored. Needless to say, this batch came out to be more like the color of a typical pale ale with a slight reddish tinge. |

Notes: 480 oz of apple juice
Added .9 lb of Turbinado.
Made a 2 step starter of WLP001
Brought apple juice to build and mixed in honey, brown sugar, and turbinado.
Original Instructions
This brew is an iteration of a few ciders using different grain bills (juice to honey ratios) with various yeasts.
Notes:
5lbs = 5 Gal. Apple Juice (if this is your first cider, use organic juice without potassium sorbate; it will kill the yeast and not ferment). Don't think I used maltodextrin here.
The rest of the grain bill is accurate. If a little less kick is needed, try one of the alternates below. I'm using WLP001 this time because of its tolerance for high alcohol, higher fermenting temp and because it finishes sweater (personally I prefer the dryness of the EC-1118 but then it's closer to Cyser territory).
I'm thinking ABV should be close to 10%. Also, because OG will be relatively high I'm using a starter. One could also double pitch with decent results. I've pitched one yeast pack before and still not had any problems.
Basic steps: Boil 2 gal. apple juice and add honey stirring constantly. (Honey is heavy and will sink to the bottom. It burns easily like candi syrup.) Boil juice, honey and sugar together for at least 20 minutes. Combine wort with remaining juice once temps drop to pitching levels.

YEAST / OG / FG

Notes: Coopers liquid malt extract is prehopped to approximately 20 IBU for a 20L batch --> IBU this batch ~40.
Add ~dozen juniper berries with dryhop
The LME was very old (8 and 4 years after expiration) and had turned quite dark. 1 week into fermentation the beer is perceived as tart and a hint of soy is present. pH measures as 3.7. Color is brown.
pH adjusted to 4.2 and stored cold around 1 week. At kegging tartness is much less perceivable, but soy tones still present. |
