Notes: This is the second of 2 experiments on base malts. Yes its not what you'd expect for a malt experiment, high IBU and some pretty flavor tweaking special malts. But I dont really care what the base malts 'taste like by themselves' as much as how they taste in my favorite brews, IPA's :) All ingredients are kept common except the main malt bill. American Rahr 2 row, Experiment 2 will be German Munich Malt. There was supposed to be an Experiment 3 with English Maris Otter but I used the malt mix to create double bypass, a Bells 2 Hearted clone-ish. Ill report back after making and tasting all of them.
Kegged 9/20, Delicious, great malt flavor, hoppy but not over the top. The cascade dry hop for 3 weeks added a nice touch!
So far of Munich, Rahr 2row and Maris Otter gotta say Munich is coming out on top. Ill set up a proper tasting and report back shortly.

Notes: Super easy hard cider, very drinkable and smooth body, slightly tart.
NOTES:
No boiling required.
For yeast, I use 1/2 packet of Lalvin 71b-1122, so I often do two gallons to use the whole packet. Try different yeasts and see what you like, if you want to.
Indian Summer Apple Cider contains Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a preservative, so it has no affect on yeast fermenting. Any other cider using ascorbic acid would have similar results. Don't use a cider with potassium sorbate, it will kill your yeast.
DIRECTIONS:
Pour the cider into your sanitized primary fermenter. I used 1 gallon glass jugs and did 2 gallons at the same time. Use a sanitized funnel if you're afraid of spilling.
Leave some room at the top of the jug, but you don't need to leave a lot of room, as there won't be a tremendous krausen like with beer.
Drop the raisins in, anywhere from 15-25 is fine.
Add 1/2 packet of Lalvin 71b-1122 yeast per gallon.
Seal with a sanitized airlock and wait for 2-3 weeks, or up to 6 weeks. When you get beyond 8 weeks, you might have more yeast characteristic come out in the cider.
As fermentation occurs, the airlock will bubble and the cider will be cloudy.
The hard cider is ready when the cider is nice and clear golden color, and the yeast has settled on the bottom of the fermenter.
Bottle like beer, with your preferred level of carbonation. I typically use 0.8oz per gallon of dextrose, or 1 carbonation tab per bottle if I'm feeling lazy.
This cider purposely has a low alcohol content. I find it quite drinkable and smooth, a bit tart like a granny smith apple. You can ratchet up the alcohol by adding brown sugar or more sugar if you like, but I prefer my cider to have a lower ABV. Removing the 3oz of cane sugar (table sugar) would reduce this to about 4% abv and also makes a very tasty and easy drinking hard cider. |

If applicable, add Corn Sugar with 15 minutes left on the boil
Filter hops by putting a 5 gallon paint strainer bag into the primary and pouring wort through the strainer before pitching yeast
Rehydrate US-05 prior to pitching
1) Warm the dry yeast to room temperature
2) In a sanitized container, prepare 1/2 cup of sterile water at 95-105°F
3) Sprinkle the dry yeast on top of the water, trying to avoid setting up large, dry clumps.
4) Let sit 15 minutes, then gently stir.
5) When the yeast has reconstituted, gently stir again to form a cream and let sit another 5 minutes.
6) Carefully and slowly, adjust the temperature of the yeast to within 15°F of the wort temperature.
7) Pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel, ideally as soon as possible. |

Notes: Tasting notes:
Exceptionally fruity (apricot, citrus, slight peach), light body, low malt character, smooth hops to start and finishes more harsh but still smooth.
More notes a few weeks in the keg;
More mellow, the bouquet is unreal and so in your face. An expensive beer to brew and so fucking worth it.

Brew the wort, using a calculator to hit your volumes.
When cooling with your wort chiller, when you hit 180 drop the whirlpool hops in and continue to stir/chill.
Cut the Vanilla Bean open, scrape the seeds into a small container & cover with just enough vodka to cover the vanilla beans.
Fermentation:
Day 4 - Near the end of fermentation (Day 4), before it's complete, add 2 oz of Citra/Mosaic mix.
Day 7 - Transfer to a secondary and add the Vanilla
Day 10 - Add the Orange Zest & Dry Hop with add 2 oz of Citra/Mosaic mix.

Notes: based on several websites this is my interpretation of the switchback ale. The yeast used in this recipe will be harvested and cultivated from switchback bottles and made into a starter. I listed the Belgian strong ale yeast because that allowed the fg to hit 1009 which is the correct fg, but the Belgian strong is not the yeast that is used. As for the hop schedule, its a shot in the dark. I know those are the varieties used but I don't know how much or when during the boil. I'll see how this one pans out and go from there. I figure it should make for a lightly hopped yet very aromatic amber ale. |
