Notes: Two packets of Lalvin D47 Wine Yeast (only ferments to ~ 14%)
Yeast Starter directions from "Compleat Meadmaker" - 6.5 cups of water, tablespoon of Light DME, 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 tsp Nutrient, 1/4 tsp Energizer. Bring water, nutrient, energizer, & malt extract to a boil for 15 minutes, remove from heat, add honey, cover with foil. I'll let this sit on my stir plate for about 42 hours before pitching.

Warm a couple gallons of water to ~140 F or so to mix in the clover honey which was purchased at Costco. Use chilled water to bring down to pitching temp & volume up to ~5 gallons (I went up to about 5.75 gallons). OG for me was 1.12-1.13.

Then follow nutrient additions with 1/4 tsp energizer and 1/2 tsp nutrient at 24 hours, then again at 48 hours, then again after 30% of sugar has been depleted. Two weeks of primary before racking to secondary. Warm the organic "strawberry spread" from Costco in some ~140-150 degree water just to be safe, then rest until room temp, then add in to secondary for two more weeks before racking a 3rd time.

Notes: Second try at a GF Berliner. The first try was very good but sourced a liquid Brett culture that was grown on barley malt media. Trying a version without that strain. Also added Quinoa thanks to some feedback from Groundbreaker Head brewer, Tyler Kueber.

Will flavor in the glass with Amoretti Grapefruit Flavor Compound to taste.

Notes: Puree is with the raisins and whole leaf cascade hops, first mix them in second pot on stove with 12oz boiling water (when water boils, turn off heat source and add raisins and hops and let cool while stirring). Use food processor to puree this mixture to a thin consistency to add directly to the main boiling wort pot, 5 minutes before end of boil.

Aerate the wort in fermenter prior to yeast pitching very well, for 1 minute.

After 4-5 days when vigorous fermentation slows, add champagne yeast with yeast nutrient, brown sugar and dry hops (centinnial). Aerate gently. Let secondary fermentation go for another 2-3 weeks before bottling.

Bottle condition for weeks, age for a long time.

All brown sugar should be light brown sugar.

Notes: Pressed enough apples for 10 gallons of cider. Apples came from my dad's summer culinary tree and summer crab apple tree. I tried to mix apples evenly before pressing.

- add crushed campden tablets 24 hours prior to yeast pitch.
- add pectic enzyme when adding campden tablets
- Rehydrate yeast with about 1/4 cup of water that has been boiled with go form. Use an ice bath to cool the solution down before adding yeast. Let yeast rehydrate for thirty mins before pitching into cider.
- After fermentation has started, add hydrated fermaid o with about 1/8 to 1/4 cup cooled water (with chlorine removed).

Oxygenated cider with pure O2 for 1min 10 sec.

Yeast:
Red Star Premier Blanc in 5 gal - 1.048 OG
Mangrove Jack M02 in 5 gal - 1.05 OG

Apples gathered on 8/25/2018
Cider pressed on 8/26/2018

Packaging - Kegging ONLY

NOTE: These steps must be followed in order. If metabisulfite is added after sorbate then chemical reactions can occur that will give the cider a 'geranium' off flavor.

- add 1/4 tsp potassium metabisulfite to 5 gal of cider to inhibit yeast and bacterial growth.
- Wait at least 12 hours.
- add 2-1/2 tsp potassium sorbate to 5 gal of cider to halt fermentation.
- Wait at least 24 hours. 48 hours is ideal.
- Transfer cider to a keg.
- Purge oxygen from headspace.
- Remove a sample of cider and add apple juice concentrate until you're happy with the flavor.
- Take a gravity reading of the cider sample, then dose the main batch until the gravity readings match. Err on the side of too little.
- carbonate to desired levels

Very good read on backsweetening -

8/23/2019 tasting notes:
I tasted and back-sweetened the ciders today. The preference of my wife and I was the champagne yeast batch. The champagne yeast batch had a dry champagne quality that we both enjoyed; it was smoother too. The mangrove jack batch was nice an clean, with a slight bitterness on the backend. Both finished at 0.994. I tend to like my cider on the dryer side, but not bone dry. I back-sweetened the mangrove jack cider to 1.002 and the champagne yeast cider to .999 with frozen apple juice concentrate from the grocery store. I decided to backsweeten the mangrove jack batch a little more to help balance out the bitterness; it seemed to do the trick. No additional tannins or acidity were required. The crab apples did a great job of adding the acidity the cider needed.

The mangrove jack cider was slightly more bitter than the champagne batch, this is probably due to the ratio of crab apples to culinary apples. The champagne batch was obviously darker than the mangrove jack. This could be due to oxidation or the ratio of apples. The cider carboy was less full, while the mangrove jack carboy was filled to the brim, so oxidation could certainly be a factor. However, campden tablets are supposed to help with oxidation, both batches certainly had a decent amount of campden tablets added to halt the yeast. I'm used to oxidation flavors in beer, I don't get those stale flavors from the champagne batch. The fact that my wife and I prefer the champagne batch would indicate that it's probably not oxidized. Time will tell, I'll update this if it starts to exibit oxidation flavors.

This is a basic video on how to harvest yeast from a previous batch of beer. All you need are some pint mason jars which you can get at Walmart or online at Amazon very cheaply. After you have a beer that is done fermenting leave all of the yeast cake at the bottle. Boil 4 mason jars for 15 mins. Remove the mason jars and fill them with the boiled water. Let them come to room temperature. At this point add the water from the 4 mason jars into the bucket with the yeast cake and swirl the bucket for about 30 seconds and then let it sit for 20 mins. After the 20 mins pour off the yeast sediment into the jars and then let them sit for about 1 hour. After the hour pour off the top layer of sediment in the jars into 2 additional mason jars. Try to pour off just the cloudy top layer and leave the trub behind. This is your final product. Make a yeast starter with the 2 jars you have harvested for better results.

Notes: Brew Day August 6.
Lalvin 71B two packs
1.25 gallon local orange blossom honey
Well water
Pitch at 60F
Aerate with O2 for 20 seconds. Added 1/2 nutrient in one cup water
staggered nutrient every other day to complete additions.
fermenting at 62F
August 21- airlock still showing activity ~ 3 bubbles per minute

Sept 20 SG = 1.022. No airlock activity. Taste is still very sweet. strong alcohol notes. Needs more time. After opening bucket, flooded it with CO2 prior to reclosure

Oct 11. SG = 1.020 transfered ~ 2 g to cabroy containing 3 # raspberry puree

remainder transfered to secondary. Still too sweet.

1/7/17 The raspberry batch SG dropped to 1.010 but still tasted too sweet (other wise good!)

The main batch was about 1.018 and too sweet. (otherwise good) Made a 100 mL slurry of champagne yeast and added ca65 mL to the big batch and 35 mL to the raspberry batch.

2/24/17 tested the raspberry mead: SG = 1.004 Tastes good! Bottle time! CAP label M2

4/1/17 The main batch is stuck at 1.018. Taste is good. Bottled. 13.7% ABV cap label is M1

Notes: Sierra Nevada Clone, with a touch of smoke and chocolate ...

Brewed 04/28/12. Accidentally overshot temperature to 190 deg F. on seeping cycle. All other brewing functions normal. Pitched hydrated yeast at 68 deg F. and dry hopped in the primary.

O.G. was 1.057 as averaged between the two buckets. Fermented four days and racked to secondary on 05/02/12. Fermentation was complete five days later. Allowed to settle until 5/15, but some cloudiness persisted, I assume caused by excess proteins released when the seeping water got too hot. Bottled nine six-packs on 5/15 with carbonation drops. Kegged and force carbonated the remainder. Final gravity was 1.011 as corrected for alcohol with the More Beer spreadsheet. Taste is excellent ... fruity, with a nice malt-hop balance and distinct hop nose. The smoked malt rounds out the flavor, without overpowering the base malt, giving the beer a unique character that is hard to describe. I may be able to elaborate on that as I sample it more.

The color is spot on, but a little cloudier than I was hoping. Next batch I will watch the seep temps a bit closer and use some Irish Moss to clear it up a bit. Overall, a very nice and VERY drinkable ale.

Notes: I used Marris Otter LME

Fermentation temperature was optimal for the first 3 days of fermentation. Then we had a heat wave and day time temps rose to into the 80's F. Used freezer packs and a swap cooler to keep fermenter temperatures 76-78 F.

Racked to secondary on day 7 and bottled on day 35 (4 weeks in secondary).

This is a malty, easy drinking game day ale; just enough hops to produce a slight twang and low ABV so you can enjoy more many while still making it through the 4th quarter and the post-game party.
