Notes: Gently steep about 1 gallon of apple juice with 1.5 tsp Pectic Enzyme, Yeast Nutrient, and 4 oz of raw honey for about 5 minutes. Let sit for 45 min to cool and allow pectic Enzyme to dissolve.

Drain canned pineapple (add to hop sacks?) and add pineapple and juices to primary. Combine step 1 ingredients after waiting 45 minutes. Add yeast.

At least a week before bottling/kegging, add ¼ teaspoon potassium metabisulfite per 5 gallons and ½ teaspoon potassium sorbate per gallon to prevent re-fermentation.

Rack to secondary after fermentation process and allow to settle. Transfer to keg and taste. Sweeten with lactose to taste (non-fermentable) and then carbonate in the keg.

Notes: Actual Fermentable (12-28-2023)
4.5 gallons Apple cider (37.5# juice - 8.34#/gal)
4 (12oz) cans apple juice concentrate (12.4# juice - 3#/can)
80 oz water
Use juice concentrate for priming sugar (if carbonating)

Did not add water except for boil (2qt), though full juice weight counted for concentrate. DO NOT ADD bentonite/boil water to primary for 1-2 days after adding pectin enzyme.

Spices and molasses are optional (can be added to this base recipe).
Chalk and K-Carbonate used to raise PH, and buffering.
Aerate before pitching 20 min +
Second nutrient addition after 2 days.

11-2025: making next batch with 1qt cranberry juice. 36oz cranberries (whole) and used rosehips (adding all in primary), back sweetening with lingonberry syrup. Rosehips are recycled from prior brew, dried and heat sanitized in the oven.
1-2026: Built this on tip of lees from cyser. Added orange peel, 2oz hops (Rakau hops), 71B and QA23 yeasts.

Notes: Dogfish Head/Stone recipe

MASHING

In a 10-gallon brew kettle, combine the crushed malts and flaked rye with 4 gallons of 163°F water. The water should cool slightly when mixed with the grain. Cover and hold the mash at 149°F for 2 hours. For safety’s sake, set up your propane burner outside. Set the brew kettle of mash on top and heat to 160°F, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Turn off the heat. The mash will continue to increase in temperature to about 165°F.

LAUTERING AND SPARGING

After mashing is complete, carefully transfer the mash to the lauter tun to separate the liquid (the wort) from the grains. Run a length of vinyl tubing from the lauter tun to the brew kettle. Let the first few quarts of liquid run through. It will be cloudy and contain some undesirable particulates. Once the liquid coming through is clear, stop the flow and pour the cloudy liquid back into the lauter tun, where the husks from the crushed grain will act as a natural filter and help remove the sediment.

Allow the remainder of the wort to drain into the brew kettle at a slow, steady rate, restricting the flow with a plastic crimp on the tube. Once the liquid is lower than the level of the grain bed, begin the sparge by slowly sprinkling 5 gallons plus 1 cup of 168°F water over the grains. The sparge water, which should never exceed 170°F, is added to the grain and allowed to drain off at a slow rate (regulated by the plastic crimp), extracting the remaining sugars and maximizing yield. This is not a step to be rushed; be prepared to spend at least an hour on lautering and sparging. Once the last of the sparge water has filtered through the grains and the flow from the lauter tun stops, you’re ready to begin the boil.

THE BOIL

Set the brew kettle of wort on your outdoor propane burner and add water to bring the wort level up to about 6 gallons plus 12 cups, if needed. Bring the wort to a rapid, rolling boil. As it begins to come to a boil, a layer of foam and scum may develop at the surface. Skim it off and discard. Once the wort is at a full boil, put a hops bag containing the Centennial hops in the kettle and set a timer for 90 minutes. Stir the wort frequently during the boil, and be watchful to avoid boilovers. At 15 minutes before the end of the boil, stir in the Irish moss.

When the boiling time is over, turn off the heat and put a hops bag containing the Amarillo hops, parsley, rosemary, lemon thyme, and white sage in the kettle. Cover the kettle and immediately begin cooling the wort quickly. Place the brew kettle in a large sink, bathtub, or cooler partially filled with ice water. Place your sanitized wort chiller in the wort and run cold water through it until the wort comes down to 70°F.

PITCHING THE YEAST AND FERMENTATION

Once the wort has cooled to 70°F, discard the spent hops and herbs and check the specific gravity of the wort with a hydrometer. The target starting gravity is 1.059 (14.5 Plato). The yeast should be removed from the refrigerator about 2 hours before use so it acclimates to room temperature. Slowly pour the cooled wort into a sanitized primary fermentation bucket. Stir vigorously with a sanitized spoon or carefully shake the fermenter (sealed of course) for about 10 minutes to aerate the wort. Shake the container of yeast, add it directly to the wort, and stir vigorously to combine. Cover the bucket with the lid, fitted with the proper stopper and an airlock filled halfway with water.

Place the bucket in a cool, dark place and keep it at 70°F. Signs of primary fermentation should be evident after about 6 to 12 hours. Let the wort ferment until the bubbles coming from the airlock have slowed to a rate of about one per minute. This can take anywhere from 4 days to over 1 week. Once this occurs, it’s time to transfer the beer to a (sanitized) glass carboy for secondary fermentation. Attach a length of (sanitized) vinyl tubing to the (sanitized) racking cane, and carefully siphon the wort into the carboy, being careful to leave behind the sediment at the bottom of the plastic fermenter. The vinyl tubing should extend to the bottom of the carboy to prevent splashing. While oxygen is crucial for the yeast at the beginning of fermentation, after that you want to minimize the wort’s exposure to it.

DRY HOPPING

Put the Citra hops in a hops bag and place it in the carboy. Seal the carboy with the drilled stopper and an airlock filled halfway with water and ferment at 70°F. After 7 days, dry hopping is complete. Remove the hops bag and discard the hops. Check the specific gravity of the beer. If it’s reached the target final gravity of 1.007 (1.8 Plato), it’s ready to bottle. If not, allow it to continue fermenting at 70°F until it reaches the target.

Bottle or keg as normal for style.
