Notes

7/3/23-Using Blonde Ale Yeast Cake S-05, Cascade Leaf Hops, Concentrate and Agave syrup. No wild cultures for this one, but maybe move it to the rum barrel?

1/30/22-Using concentrate (no juice available this year-COVID!), added dregs from the previous wild batch. The yeast package is just to kickstart fermentation until the microbes take over. Will add 2 1/2# of Passionfruit puree after primary fermentation stops. Moved to Rum Barrel 3/13/22.

** This takes from raw juice (October) to drinkable (May). So this is the 3rd year I have made a wild cider, the 2nd I have bought juice from Honest Abe's in Gardena/L.A. The cider is wild fermented, just a little nutrient added to feed the wild beasties.

This batch was primed with cranberry juice. Last year's batch was primed with passionfruit juice. Year one was fermented on a Pale Ale yeast and hop cake.
