Notes

After fermentation, add 1 gallon of fresh apple cider to the keg and transfer 4 gallons of the fermented beer on top.

Add apple puree and caramel flavoring to taste.

This recipe creates 10 total gallons of 4.4% ABV caramel apple ale split between two (2) five gallon kegs.

*4.4% is pre-calculated based on the beer finishing at 5.5% ABV. This number will need to be adjusted if the finished beer ABV varies from this number.
