Mash at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes or until conversion is complete. Add the FWH hops during runoff, immediately after vorlauf, and allow them to steep in the hot wort as the mash is sparged.
Boil for 90 minutes. Whirlpool for 40 minutes (from start to rest) following the hops schedule.
Pitch the yeast and ferment at 67°F (19°C) for 2–3 days, then allow the temperature to rise slowly to 73°F (23°C) by the end of fermentation to ensure full attenuation. When fermentation reaches 1.5–2° Plato from terminal gravity (1.020–1.022), drop temp to 14C and add the first dry-hop addition. About 3 days later do a cone dump and add the second dry-hop addition for another 3 days. Cold crash to 1C and then do another cone dump.
Package at 2.6 volumes of CO2 and consume fresh. |

Notes: Simple plan for simple stuff:
- Pitch one packet of S-04 into 4 gal of Kirkland brand apple juice @~59f. Keep temperature stable.
- Just after lag phase has ended, mix 1.5-2g Fermaid O into some apple juice, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.7 gal total. This should be on the lower end of the nutrient schedule, hopefully just enough to ward off diacetyl and sulphur.
- Wait until >50% attenuated, and start ramping the temperature a couple of degrees a day to ~68.
- With a couple of points left to go until FG, ~1.007ish, add the dry hops.
- Let dry hop for 4-7 days, cold crashing at FG.
- Rack to serving keg after 24-48 hours at cold crash temperatures.
- Let condition in the fridge, hopefully drink young.
------------------------------------------------------
10/16/20:
Racked after cold crash w/ 7 days hop contact (5 @ 67f, 2 during cold crash) to serving keg. Next time I'll use a hop bag rather than letting them float freely - even after the cold crash there was enough in suspension to clog the floating dip tube, so I had to open everything up and siphon-pump transfer. Not ideal, hopefully oxidization doesn't become a problem.
Manual hydrometer readings verified that this ended up right around 1.002, and a taste of the pre-carb sample was pretty good. There's no detectable sulfur taste, no other significant fermentation off flavors, and mild apple flavor (about as much as is reasonable considering I'm not back-sweetening), though the hops are a little grassy and dank.
Next time I'll probably switch up the hops to something fruity and tropical, and limit the contact time a little more (maybe 3 days at room temp before cold crashing?)
Plan is to burst carb @30psi for ~24 hours, then turn it down to ~12psi and shamelessly drink under-carbed cider till it's ready.
------------------------------------------------------
10/20/20:
After a little more thought I turned the pressure down to 14psi rather than 12, to give it a little more mouthfeel from increased carbonation and help the hop aromatics. It's been a few days since then, and the general consensus is that this turned out really well!
In line with my initial impressions, there aren't any fermentation off flavors I can pick out, but, with carbonation, the S-04 has left pleasant but subtle notes I'd normally associate with ale. The finished cider is crystal clear, very dry without being astringent or harsh, and has a crisp, tart, finish. Apple notes are distinguishable on the finish, but meld with the hop flavors well enough you have to pay attention. While the hop flavors started out worryingly grassy and dank, that quickly faded into the sort of smooth herbal spice I'd expect from Tettnanger and Willamette.
It's really a shame I didn't brew this at the start of summer, rather than at the start of fall, but that can be fixed next year! |

Notes: 1. pilsner and 6-row was ground and added to mash tun along with flaked oats with tun around 168, mash was still quite hot, vigorously stirred for about 5-10 min to bring the temp down to around 150-154 degrees fahrenheit.
2. Mashed for more than 90 min (10-20 min more), I had made the mistake of starting to heat my sparge water late. prior to sparge, wort was at about 148 degrees fahrenheit
3. Vorlauf 2-3 times with 1/2 gallon each circulation.
4. Sparged with ~6.5 gallons for 30 min with water at 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Once sparge reached ~7.5 gallons, boil started, for about 90 minutes, added 1oz of cascade hops 45 min into the boil, and some irish moss with 15 left in the boil. Yielded more than original batch target of 5.5 gallons. (about 6 gals)
6. Wort chilling began with copper wort chiller. It was a hot day, ~85 degrees, could not get the beer effectively below 80 degrees.
7. Added fruit and fruit juice to the carboy after transfer from boiler. Picture showed is my OG reading. ~1.056-1.058
8. Due to the hot temp, I decided to wait to pitch the yeast, and decided to add 5 teaspoons of pectic enzymes and let it sit for 12 hours before pitching yeast along with yeast nutrient around 70-72 degrees. |

Notes: Added Dry Hops at secondary fermentation after 1 week. Should have used pellet hops instead of whole leaf.
Final Gravity was 1.016
Last 3 days of secondary fermentation temp was dropped to 48F.
Filtered with rough filter into kegs after 15 days fermentation.
Placed kegs in refrigeration on 7-15-15 without Co2. We may filter again in a few weeks. |
