Notes: 8 Pounds of light DME is used as the base of the malt to create a solid body and relatively high ABV%. Before the DME is added, a 1/2 pound of American Crystal 10L is steeped for 20 minutes (150-170 degrees F) to add body and mouthful without an abundance of flavor and very little color. Along with the 10L will be a 1/2 pound of American Crystal 60L to add complexity to the flavor and mouthfeel, and to add a little color to the beer.
For the yeast, American Ale 1056 by wyeast is the best bet for a clean dry finishing ale that does not invite unexpected or unwanted flavor profile changes to the signature characteristics of a hoppy American IPA.
The beer will be single hopped with Citra (AA ~13.4%). 1 oz is added at 60 minutes to start your quaff with a hoppy bang. A 1/2 oz addition at 30 minutes and a 1/2 oz addition at 15 minutes is to ensure a consistent hop presence throughout the experience of a sip. FInally, 2 oz are added with 5 minutes remaining to provide this hoppy IPA with its' characteristic bitter finish.
Note: This beer is not in the hop happy direction that many nascent American micro-breweries are trending towards. However, the hop presence is definitely noticeable. To elucidate with a comparison, think of this beer as being like a Bell's Two Hearted pale ale with a more distinguished citrusy hop presence. |

| Notes: Quick boil DME Brett beer (maltodextrin gives the Brett something to chew on over the months, and cane sugar encourages lower pH drop from the Lachancea, but can make with 100% DME, or mash some grain if you'd rather party like that). Pitch Philly Sour first, give it 2-3 days to get started dropping the pH, then pitch the Brett. Wait until Brett finishes up (3-4 months) before dry hopping, then package. |

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.
HISTORIC

Notes: Probably won't be bitter enough, note to self; change the hop profile, add the hallertau later, use something else for bittering.
- As expected, hops were a little low in intensity.
- Early tastings were very banana, and alcohol, it really just tasted like some weird banana liquer or something. 5 months later the initial "I'm drinking straight alcohol" mellowed into a very smooth tasty beer. Banana flavours have also mellowed. It's become a favourite at parties, where I'll pour 1 600 ML bottle into 3 wine glasses. Carbonation also really only became apparent after about 4 months, my storage area is generally between 20-23C in summer. |
