Notes

Trying to turn out a very quick cider:

  • Rehydrate one packet of Lallemand Voss in GoFerm PE as per instructions
  • Pitch into ~4.6 gal of Kirkland brand apple juice @90f. Add 10-11 drops Fermcap S to reduce krausen and hopefully prevent the mess that's pretty much guaranteed to happen given the inadequate headspace I'm providing - even given I'm starting with a blowoff tube. Ramp temperature up to 96f over the next few hours.
  • Just after lag phase has ended mix 7.5g Fermaid O into some apple juice until thoroughly dissolved, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.7 gal total.
  • Just before the 1.3 sugar break (1.040-1.034) mix 7.5g Fermaid O into some apple juice until thoroughly dissolved, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.8 gal total.
  • After ~24 hours at FG, start cold crashing.
  • Rack to serving keg after 24-48 hours at cold crash temperatures, and start force carbing.
  • Taste and stabilize and backsweeten or add flavoring if necessary. I have a variety of tinctures I might add to make this more interesting, depending on how things turn out.
  • Drink Young, hopefully within a week or so.

    Nutrient schedule is roughly cribbed from https://www.meadmakr.com/batch-buildr/, using the Fermaid O only TONSA 2.0 schedule, with high nitrogen requirements and taking into account that the Voss Kviek is (hopefully) going to blitz through the must.
