Notes

Apple cider fermented with two types of cherries and a Belgian wit yeast giving the cider a distinct apple pie flavor.

  • Add 3.1 lb can of tart cherry puree to primary
  • 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)

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