Notes

Had to fudge the recipe to fit fermentables. Actual List:

Amount Ingredient Timing
2.5 gal. Apple Cider (100% juice, no additives, unpasteurized) -45 min.
2 oz. Dark DME -45
16 oz. Cranberry 100% Juice -45
16 oz. Tart Cherry 100% Juice -45
4 oz. Lemon Juice -15 minutes
2 sticks Cinnamon Stick -15
1 lb. Dark Brown Sugar -15
32 oz. Honey -15
1/2 tab Whirlfloc -15
3/4 tsp. Yeast Nutrient -15
1.5 tsp. Allspice 0 (end of "boil")
1.5 tsp. Nutmeg 0
2x12oz cans Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate 15
1 pkg. Yeast (Red Star Pasteur Blanc Champagne Dried Yeast) Primary
1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract Secondary
1 stick Cinnamon Stick Secondary
3 lbs. Fresh apples, sliced Secondary
INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Bring initial ingredients to 170F, then start timer at 45 minutes.
  2. Simmer at 170F (max) for 45 min. Do NOT boil as it will extract pectins resulting in permanent haze.
  3. Smile
  4. Primary fermentation 1 week, or until it slows significantly
  5. Secondary fermentation 2+ weeks to complete dryness. Excess residual sugar = bottle bombs.
  6. Wash apples thoroughly, cut into thin slices. Keep stems, seeds and peels for tannin content. Rinse with StarSan solution.
  7. Check that F.G. is in the range 0.996 - 1.010
  8. Priming sugar, use 1/2 cup light brown sugar or honey
