Notes: This brew is an iteration of a few ciders using different grain bills (juice to honey ratios) with various yeasts.

Notes:
5lbs = 5 Gal. Apple Juice (if this is your first cider, use organic juice without potassium sorbate; it will kill the yeast and not ferment). Don't think I used maltodextrin here.

The rest of the grain bill is accurate. If a little less kick is needed, try one of the alternates below. I'm using WLP001 this time because of its tolerance for high alcohol, higher fermenting temp and because it finishes sweater (personally I prefer the dryness of the EC-1118 but then it's closer to Cyser territory).

I'm thinking ABV should be close to 10%. Also, because OG will be relatively high I'm using a starter. One could also double pitch with decent results. I've pitched one yeast pack before and still not had any problems.

Basic steps: Boil 2 gal. apple juice and add honey stirring constantly. (Honey is heavy and will sink to the bottom. It burns easily like candi syrup.) Boil juice, honey and sugar together for at least 20 minutes. Combine wort with remaining juice once temps drop to pitching levels.

HISTORIC
YEAST / OG / FG
WLP775 / 1.073 / 1.012 -5 gal. juice to 3 lbs honey
WLP005 / 1.087 / 1.030 -6 gal. juice to 6 lbs honey(4 gal. split)
EC-1118 / 1.087 / 1.011 -6 gal. juice to 6 lbs honey (2 gal. split)

Notes: 1. Peel and dice pumpkin, squash and sweet potato; drizzle with maple syrup; and roast in oven for 1 hr. at 350F.

2. Start fermentation at 66°F and ramp 2°F per day until 80°F. Let sit for 2-3 weeks then bottle.

3. Optionally, create a tincture of ginger and pumpkin pie spice using vodka or another neutral spirit and add at bottling time.

Notes: Sour cherries were frozen, then thawed and pitted, and then frozen and thawed again before adding to the secondary. Added 1/8 tsp liquid pectic enzyme (several years old, so maybe no good) at the time to help clear haze. Lots of secondary fermentation from the cherries and juice. Also added 1 tsp gelatin (softened in 1/4 c cold water) finings. Still some haze before bottling, so added 1/4 tsp powdered pectic enzyme. Bottled with 2.6 oz. corn sugar.

Final gravity 1.003! ABV 8.3%

Notes: This oatmeal stout is fermented with extremely clean yeast providing a true expression of the malt and hops characteristics.

The malt extract is a blend of pale malt with some caramel 60, Munich, and black malt. It creates a dark wort with a smooth taste and at the high rate of addition in this beer, the caramel, honey, bread, coffee, chocolate, and toasty flavors boldly fill the palate.

The addition of oatmeal flour gives a rich, smooth mouthfeel and full body to the beer.

The Minnesota grown Mighty Axe Sterling hops infuse a delicately spicy, citrusy aroma with a floral and herbal nuance. The high oil content allows the hops flavor to last through the finish without over-riding the malt and oatmeal character of this wonderful porter.

Extract brewing can be simple and rewarding! Note that while the equipment costs far less than the equivalent all-grain systems, the cost to let someone else create your extract over extracting the sugars from grains yourself is more expensive by about 20-50%. The cost per 20oz (one bottle) of beer for this brew comes to just over $2.12.

For a fermentation airlock, run a section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose from the grommet on the lid to the bottom of one of the gallon jugs filled with sanitizer solution in tap water, and place the gallon jug and the fermentation bucket at the same height.

The recommended inoculation rate of this yeast is 2 grams per 5 gallons, or approximately 1/2 tsp. The yeast packet comes with 11 grams. The maximum pitch rate is 4g/5gal.

Primary fermentation ambient temperature can be anywhere in the yeast's fermentation temperature range, so fermenting warmer at around 75f will speed up the fermentation process, but the beer should not get warmer than 76f. If the fermenting liquid gets warmer than 76f, place the beer is a cooler (and still dark) area such as a basement or cooled fermentation chamber.

To bottle your beer, precondition each sanitized bottle with 2 Northern Brewer Fizz Drops. Attach a 5-8 foot section of the 3/8" ID Siphon Hose to the Fermenter's Favorites Bottling Spigot and the other end of the hose to the Fermenter's Favorites® Spring Tip Bottle Filler. Slowly open the spigot until it is fully open. Place the spring tip filler into the bottle and press the tip in on the bottom of the bottle. Fill the bottle until the liquid reaches the top. Remove the filler and the bottle will be filled to the optimal height.

Secondary fermentation in bottles takes between 14 and 21 days. 17.5 is usually a safe number of days to allow carbonation to build.

Do not be lead astray by the math provided by this recipe. Final gravity is likely to be much lower, and the ABV of this beer is likely to be higher due to the extremely high alcohol tolerance of this yeast.

Don't forget to sanitize everything including the outside rims of the brew equipment and even the outside of the yeast packet.
