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.

Notes: Given that the malts do not provide much in the way of fermentable sugars when using the craft kitchen kit we may need to tweak the Malt Extract upwards to hit the target abv of 7-8% (20 KG used) based on the Stewart Brewing ready reckoner

Soft Candi Sugar used in the description instead of the Muscovado actually used in the recipe

Lactose Milk Sugar & Muscavado used at 10 minutes from end of boil

Spices added at 10 minutes before end of boil in muslin bag:
5 cinnamon sticks
15 cloves
1.15 tsp of ground cardoman
1.5 tsp ground nutmeg

Spices added 1 week before end:
batch 1: sterilised orange zest
batch 2: whisky soaked vanilla pod

Notes: Steep the grains in the mid 150s for 45-60 minutes.
It is assuming a 5 gallon batch,
3 gallon - 60 minute boil, and adding the extract at the beginning.

If you can do a full boil you probably wouldn't need the extra 1oz.Citra at 60 minutes.

Extract notes from the forum thread author:
As far as First Wort Hop / Steeping hops.... I would add them with around 10 min left in steep (before rinse), and put them in a different bag than the grain. Then you can leave them in for the whole boil.

Notes: Increased time to boil led to lower than target volume.
Efficiency was great at 74%
The fermentation room was sealed off and the temperature rose much higher than expected. Beer bubbled away very rapidly at 68 degrees for a day before the door to the room was shut. Later that evening it had all but stopped as the temp reached 78. Likely a rapid fermentation leading to high esters. I want some fruity notes to this one, but 78 may be too high. Down to 68 again now.

Fermentation finished on my day 3 and 4 check. Kegged on the 4th day with an addition of 8 OZ tart cherry juice concentrate.

Keg carbonated at 33 for 3 days at 40 degrees. Dropped to 10 for 2 days. Perfect pour!
