Notes

Cider finished with a Scotch and oak tincture.

  • Add 1g/L Malic acid to lower pH by .1 as needed to reach 3.7 pH.
  • Check pH and add potassium metabisulfite as needed for a partial kill (for more information see chart: www.cider.org.uk/sulphite.html).
  • Stock solution SO2: dissolve 3 grams of potassium metabisulphite in 30 ml (also grams) of water which corresponds to 50 ppm of SO2 for a six gallon batch
  • Wait 24 to 48 hours before adding pectic enzyme and pitching yeast.

  • Primary fermentation: 4-5 weeks @ 59°

  • Add 5 crushed campden tablets dissolved in a bit of cider to carboy /keg before transferring for secondary/conditioning.
  • Secondary: 8 weeks @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps)

  • At packaging, add the scotch and oak tincture to taste (used 3oz medium toast french oak cubes (previously soaked in bourbon) in an 8 oz mason jar filled with the scotch of your choice, aged for three months). Added until I could just taste the Scotch. The tannins from the oak really balance out the acidity very nicely.

  • Transfer to a keg to condition: 6 months @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps) in pressurized keg.
