Place 21 l water into FV, add 1/3rd crushed camden tablet
Take out 1l of water and boil, Add
*1kg of white can sugar,
*1 kg Of Amber soft sugar. (eqautes to 2l)
stir throughly then add back to FV, volume 23l
Place a muslin bag over the top of the FV and leave over night (no need to drop pH of water as limes will acidify the water when added the following day)
07-04-2025 @0900
slice/ zest the skins of 25unwashed unwaxed limes and place in a pasterused muslin bag, do not wash the limes, as I want to utilise the yeast on the skins
remove/ slice off any remainder of the white of the limes and discard
quarter the limes then squeeze the limess in a macerator juicer with 1cm of ginger. throw away the fibre produced (it contributes to bitterness)
Add the 1l of lime juice to the FV
Add some * ginger plant into the muslin bag , then hang the muslin bag of lime zest/ ginger plant inside the FV and secure the string to the outside of the FV with tape
DID NOT ADD YEAST NUTRIENT NOR YEAST i.e. I added yeast for my lemonade last year i.e. 1.5 tsp of yeast nutrient, 0.5 tsp yeast nutrient, 1 tsp of wine yeast (can use champagne yeast)
07-04-2025 @ 1230 OG=1.030, vol 24l
Will take 2-3 days to get started
Should finish at 1.010 ??? (so can RACK AT above that so no need to add priming sugar, so chill, then rack, or no chill and catch it early

Notes: modified from last years version. adding ginger and possibly nutmeg back into the mix, reducing cinnamon and clove? not sure by how much. refer to trustmonkey/pki for decent balanced spice amounts. increasing the bitter orange peel contribution and adding sweet orange peel. may add .5 lb more dme.
2014 notes :
boiled 1.5 lb extract for total 60 minutes, added the rest (6lb) after 45 minutes (total 15 minutes)
cut and scrape vanilla bean and soak in small amount of bourbon for 24 hours and add it to the secondary. the other spices can go in for 5-15 minutes at the end of the boil. |

Nutrient Tea
1ea Orange
1ea Lemon
1oz Chopped Raisins
1ea Darjeeling Tea
Primary
1/2oz Raisins
3tsp Fermax Yeast Nutrient
Prior to Secondary
1oz Ginger, matchstick cut
1Tbsp Pink Peppercorns, smashed
Quarter Lemon and Orange, make 1.5 Cup nutrient "tea" with Orange, Lemon, and Chopped Raisins. Squeeze juice into saucepan, add rinds, and bring just to boil, remove from heat, cut open tea bag and add tea. Allow to steep while boiling honey.
Add all honey to a 7Gal pot and gently bring to a boil over Medium high heat (Mark 8-9 on my stove), do not add any water or other adjuncts. STIR CONTINUOUSLY! Reduce heat to medium low - medium (Mark 3-6 on my stove) and maintain a rolling boil for approximately 80 mins. STIR CONTINUOUSLY! Temp should rise to about 260-265 and honey should become a dark amber color. STIR CONTINUOUSLY! Do not allow the honey to burn or scorch.
Rehydrate yeast in 1/2 Cup warm water.
Remove Honey from heat and SLOWLY add 2 gallons of water while continuing to stir. Allow must to cool to approximately 135-145. Strain nutrient tea into 5Gal carboy, add yeast nutrient, then add must. Shake/rock carboy vigorously to thoroughly aerate. Once temp has fallen to 90, add yeast slurry to carboy, shake to reaerate, and top off with water. Transfer to 6.5Gal carboy to allow headspace for fermentation and add 1/2 oz raisins.
Primary fermentation 4-6 weeks. Add 1oz matchstick cut ginger and 1Tbsp smashed pink peppercorns 3-4 days before racking to secondary. Transfer to 5Gal carboy for secondary.
Secondary for 8-16 weeks and evaluate for clarity and flavor. If necessary, transfer to a 5Gal carboy for tertiary/bright storage. Bottle in 375ml wine bottles and allow to age for AT LEAST 3-6 months.
