Notes: This is an easy and delicious sweat cider. Here are the instructions:
• Buy 5 gal of fresh unfiltered cider (pasteurized)
• Buy 6 cans of Apple juice concentrate. (No preservatives or added sugar)
• Buy Yeast nutrient
• Buy Champaign yeast. I usually use 2 packs of the dry yeast because it only cost $ 0.75.
• Mix your cider, thawed apple juice concentrate, and yeast nutrient in a car boy. Make sure you start with the apple juice concentrate and top off with cider leaving room for fermentation at top of carboy.
• Mix well and take an OG reading.
• Shake really well for 2 mins and Pitch yeast.
• Seal with airlock and put in cool dark room for 7 days.
• Buy 5-6 more cans of apple juice concentrate and rack cider onto apple juice concentrate in bottling bucket.
• Mix well and bottle. (do not add any priming sugar) The apple juice concentrate acts as your priming sugar.
• Make sure you use proper sanitization throughout the all processes. (I use star no rinse sanitizer.)
• Bottle.
• Make sure to open a bottle every week to determine carbonation level. Once desired carbonation level is achieved refrigerate all bottles to stop carbonation.

Notes: **Batch 1**
This was a delicious fruit beer. I had a hard time locating real passionfruit, so I used a 100% juice blend. The label on the juice said it was 100% juice, but also had pear listed as an ingredient, so I'm not sure what the ratio of pear to passionfruit was. The mango had more presence than the passionfruit, probably because of the use of juice. Need to find real passionfruit for the next brew, or possibly use real pear.
*I found out later that commercial breweries use powdered passionfruit, which is available online. I'll try this for my next batch
Use 1lb fruit per gallon of beer. I pureed the mango and placed it in hop bags in the secondary. For my 5 gallons, it ended up being 6 diced mangos.
**Batch 2**
Used the same recipe, but tried using powdered passionfruit. I learned a few good lessons from this beer. The powder is surprisingly effective and when hydrated it smelled amazing. I added it at kegging which was a mistake. Next batch needs to be only powder without the fresh mangos. I'd like to try powdered passionfruit and powdered mango. The only drawback to this is that the powder is expensive. I used one pouch of passionfruit powder and it was $9 plus shipping. The biggest lesson I learned is that I need to stop using fruit juice. Its sugars are fermenting out to the point where I don't think it's adding much flavor and is really drying the beer out. Lots of changes to be made on the next batch.
**Batch 3**
Again I used the same recipe, but in keeping with the last few years I wanted to try and experiment with the best result of getting the fruit flavor into the beer.
In January I went to a local brewer's convention and met some people from Amoretti flavoring company. I tried their passionfruit and it was what I was looking for, so I bought a 25.4oz bottle of the puree. I used half of it while kegging, along with one pouch of the passionfruit powder I had leftover from last year. I skipped the mango altogether this year (I know, I know....)
I tasted the beer while I was checking my FG, and the powder that I added at knockout had only imparted a mild flavor in beer. It tasted slightly tangy, but not bad. The puree that I added at kegging really brought this beer to where I wanted it to be.
This beer is delicious, and finally fruity and light! Perfect summer beer! |
