Notes: Mash at 149 for 60 mins. Sparge to get to 7 gallons. Biol for 65 mins.

After boil do a whirlpool and cool to 185 and then steep hops for 20 mins. Chill wort to 54 and aerate and then pitch yeast.

Ferment at 59 for 2 days, and then add first dry hops. When SG is 1034, allow temp to rise to 64 for diacetyl rest. After 4 days at terminal gravity add remaining dry hops (everything marked 3 days). After 3 more days crash and carb to 2.65 vol.

Notes: This was my first all grain batch and decided to go big or go home. I realized a few things before I started. My lauter was definitely not large enough so I bought a bigger one and improvised.
I missed temperature on the Mash, hit 160+ and had too much volume to add cold water so I just went with it. I mashed out at 172.

I plan on main fermenter at least 2-3 weeks if not a month to a month and a half. Secondary will go as long as I can stand.

I don't want to be too pushy with this batch with the hop schedule as big as it is, I mean 4 oz at boil start, and another 7 at 10 minutes. Its a beast.

Notes: Lactic acid used 10ml and pH was 5.4

Pre-boil gravity 1.055 after 5lbs of blueberries 1.065.

FG 1.012 before 5lbs of blueberries in secondary. FG before kegging is 1.010. 7.22%

Aug 2019 beer contest 25/50 did not feel there was any malt or hop flavor. Thought blueberry was heavy for a beer.

another judge thought terrible. 13/50. Diacetyl butter cleaning soluvent. Thought no hop flavor or yeast.

I tried same recipe with peach. 3.9 gal mash 2.9 gal sparge. I added 2 gallon through grain to get the preboil volume to 6 gal (too much water?) I did not check gravity before adding water. OG after and before peach (5Lb added in spider at flameout, (canned purred)) was 1.045. 7 days later FG and at time of adding 5 Lbs peaches (canned pureed) was 1.008 using same yeast as before. After 8 days FG is 1.040-1.030 After secondary peach addition there was what seemed to be yeast activity but not sure how accurate FG is after the peaches.

Notes: First attempt had half oz each of the flavour/aroma hops in whirlpool only, Buckets of aroma, but not enough flavour. I think the hop level is OK and while the predicted bitterness is a lot higher than the commercial 14 I am hoping half the hops in the boil will bring the flavours up. Also added a little crystal as it came out quite Pilsner like.

Latest version I Upped to an ounce of each between boil and whirlpool, dropped the crystal back and due to having a few kids to deal with I mashed lower and ended up with a higher efficiency - looked and smelled great going into the fermenter, time will tell.

Third attempt nailed the flavour, so I am dropping the grain bill back to match original and changing the times of boil addition - flavour extraction should still be good as they will be there throughout the whirlpool anyway. Aroma was already fantastic.

Notes: 1. ACQUIRE JUICE
Ensure that the juice doesn’t have preservatives; sorbate, sorbitol, sulfite, things of that sort. Ascorbic acid / vitamin C is just fine.

2. TEST AND ADDITIONS
If the juice is cloudy, add pectic enzyme at the rate of 1/2 tsp per gallon.

Add yeast nutrient. Wyeast Wine or Beer Nutrient, or generic Yeast Nutrient. Roughly 1/4 tsp per gallon is a good starting point. Be prepared to add more once fermentation is well under way.

Check the gravity with a hydrometer or refractometer. Record the result. This number will help determine the alcohol by volume of the cider, as well as act as a window into the fermentation process.

--OPTIONAL: Chaptalize (add sugar). If you’d like a stronger cider, add a simple sugar at this time. The sugar will ferment out entirely, increasing alcohol content, thinning the body, and amplifying acidity. Partially refined and darker sugars are more prone to affect the flavor. One pound of sugar in five gallons will add approximately one percent alcohol by volume. Belgian candi sugars, honeys, or plain corn sugar all work well and have unique effects.

3. ADD YEAST
--“Cider” yeast works well and is available in liquid form from White Labs and Wyeast. The Wyeast strain tends to be cleaner and quicker, while the White Labs strain is a little slower and tends to preserve the character of the apples better. This recipe utilized Fermentis Safcider.

4. FERMENTATION
--Allow the cider to ferment to dryness.
--If the fermentation seems sluggish, smells like rotten eggs or burning matches; add yeast nutrient, 1/4 tsp at a time, up to 1 tbsp per 12 hours. Use caution when adding nutrient, as the trapped CO2 in the cider can react with the added powder, causing an overflow of liquid.
--When the gravity is reliably stable, usually around 0.996-1.010, the cider is almost ready to be racked. Allow it to sit on the yeast sediment for a little longer - at least one day, up to three weeks or so, to help clean up any off-flavors that were produced during fermentation.

5. CONDITIONING / SECONDARY FERMENTATION
--Rack the cider into a sanitized carboy or similar vessel that will accommodate the volume with no or minimal head space. At this point, the process is largely dependent upon taste. As the cider ages, the flavors will mellow and come into condition, the yeast and other sediment will slowly settle out, and everything will generally improve.

Before racking to secondary carboy, Wine Tannin and Calcium Carbonate can be added to improve flavor.

If samples taste more sour or tart than expected, Calcium Carbonate can be added at 1/4 tsp per gallon. In first batch, PH measured 3.9 and Calcium Carbonate was utilized.

If samples taste lack body, wine tannin can be added at 1/4 tsp per gallon. In first batch, Wine Tannin was utilized.

6. FINING
--If the cider is still cloudy and you prefer it to be clear, use a wine fining agent, such as Super-Kleer or Sparkolloid, to help it clarify. Follow the directions provided by the manufacturer.

Cold Mix Fining Agent. Positively charged fining agent for beer and wine. Noted for working where other fining agents have failed. Also provides a compact sediment bed, pressing down other fining agents and increasing yield. Used as a coating medium for filter pads, to decrease porosity.

To use, stir 1/2 tsp. per gallon into one quart of briskly boiling water. Boil for three minutes, stirring well to completely dissolve. Use 1/2 cup of the prepared solution for every gallon of wine. Stir thoroughly into wine, leave for 2 weeks, and then rack off sediment.

7. STOP FERMENTATION
If keg carbonating, stopping the fermentation can be complete by adding 1/2 TSP/Gallon fo Potassium Sorbate.

8. KEG CARBONATION & BACK SWEETENING
Upon transfering the Cider from the Secondary to the Keg, if the Cider is dryer than desired, it can be back sweetened with Apple Concentrate, Sugars, or Honey.
Carbonate the Cider to desired level. Many carbonation calculators are available online to determine the appropriate PSI setting for CO2 regulator based on storage temperature and desired level of carbonation.
