Notes: Apples: cook cores/skins with fruit to 4lb in about 1.5 gallons of water (expecting 0.4 gal loss to boil). No fruit in primary (cooking is an extract process, fruit will be strained after a long cook). Skins make up at least 1lb of the total fruit solids. Accepting some pectin haze may remain in spite of enzyme addition in primary.
Make 2 quarts of strong tea with preferred mulling spices by adding off boil water; allow to stand until cool.
Juice: 3 gal. Apple Juice
1 gal apple juice = 8.34lb
(1) 12fl oz concentrate juice = 48fl oz juice/3.12lb juice
Total volume:
3 gal juice
0.50 gal honey
1.5 gal water
Sorbate in secondary, back sweeten to 1.01 gravity. No carbonation. Sweeten with either honey or apple juice concentrate as needed for balanced flavor. Alternately, bottle dry and mix with apple cider & mulling spices before serving for the Holidays :-D

Notes: Goal is to make a wheat ale with moderate fruit aroma and taste, not just background flavor. Decided on wheat and sweet extracts to entice family members who are too fond of beer. Planning on splitting the batch in half, and making half cherry, and the other half with another unchosen extract flavor (blueberry maybe). Extracts added before bottling.
Went with 2 oz / per 2.5 gal of brewers best sweet cherry extract, 1 oz vanilla extract, 1 oz almond extract for the first half; may bump almond extract to 2 oz if made again.
Went with 3 oz / per 2.5 gal of blackberry extract and 2 oz vanilla for the second half of the batch.
Cherry was liked by many who do not normally like beer; blackberry came out with less strong flavor, but lingering sweet berry notes. Beer is medium bodied, lightly sweet, with no residual bitter taste, are are overall very inoffensive beers; both are delicious, and I'm going through them rapidly. |

OG = 1.072@ 69F
Jan. 15 SG = 1.022@ 66F
Tasted at this point - bitter from orange peel evident, but not a lot of orange flavor. Picked up no rosemary flavor. Chocolate dominant non-hop flavor. Good biscuit and caramel base with lingering pine and citrus bitterness.

Notes: Fermentation batch size was 5 gal, but I adjusted it here to hit O.G. 1.055 to match the actual brew day.
The weird combo of hops @ 5 min. was because had leftovers from a Bigfoot clone.
Oxygenated for 60 sec. with oxygen wand.
Won local homebrew competition judged by BJCP judges. |
