Transferred under pressure to serving keg - pretty easy, watch for foam up into Spunding, probably should build out some sort of trap.
11/23/2020 4:26 PM over 4 years ago	+12	Tasting Note				11/24/2020 4:55 AM over 4 years ago	Mild flavors, apple and sweetness - minimal cinnamon. I think off flavors that I can’t ID. Not trash I think, but going to get a second opinion.

Notes

3 gallons Apple Juice
2 gallons Apple Cider

Who knows if the ratio matters...

Heat 1 gallon in a pot with the brown sugar and cinnamon sick. Dump 4 gallons into fermenter, add heated 1 gallon, pitch yeast and shake.

Ferment a few days then cap to naturally carbonate. Crash chill, keg, and refrigerate when the taste is right.
