Creation Date: 12/21/2024 7:55 PM

Notes: Main ingredients:
128 ounces of Trader Joe's Ginger Brew (5 bottles) degassed (Note: The fermentable sugars are in the Ginger Brew; do not add additional sugar unless you want to bump up the potential ABV)
1 tsp EC-1118 yeast

Optional additives but recommend:
Yeast nutrient (follow directions per gallon of must)
Tannin (follow directions per gallon of must)
Pectic enzyme (follow directions per gallon of must)

Optional step but recommend:
Backsweeten to 1.02 gravity with honey (about 200 grams) or other sweetener of choice (Note: This includes the honey used for priming)

Carbonation:
Reuse the Trader Joe's Ginger Brew flip-top bottles and bottle the fermented beverage after backsweetening
Bottle condition for a week to carbonate, then pasteurize the bottles

Pasteurization:
Place bottles in large tall pot and fill with water until neck of bottles are covered
Remove the bottles after filling pot with water
Place pot of water on stove and heat to 185⁰F
Once temperature is reached, remove pot off heat and place bottles back into the hot water
Let the bottles sit in hot water for 15-20 minutes then remove bottles carefully (they are hot and under pressure!)
Let the bottles get back to room temperature on their own (let them sit)
Refrigerate after cooled to room temperature
Enjoy!

Notes: This started out as a clone of Boddington's Pub ale. The current iteration is a bit stronger because I goofed and didnt put enough water in the fermentor. In the past I have done this as a 5.25 - 5.5gal batch and its better that way.

Notes: Pressed enough apples for 10 gallons of cider. Apples came from my dad's summer culinary tree and summer crab apple tree. I tried to mix apples evenly before pressing.

- add crushed campden tablets 24 hours prior to yeast pitch.
- add pectic enzyme when adding campden tablets
- Rehydrate yeast with about 1/4 cup of water that has been boiled with go form. Use an ice bath to cool the solution down before adding yeast. Let yeast rehydrate for thirty mins before pitching into cider.
- After fermentation has started, add hydrated fermaid o with about 1/8 to 1/4 cup cooled water (with chlorine removed).

Oxygenated cider with pure O2 for 1min 10 sec.

Yeast:
Red Star Premier Blanc in 5 gal - 1.048 OG
Mangrove Jack M02 in 5 gal - 1.05 OG

Apples gathered on 8/25/2018
Cider pressed on 8/26/2018

Packaging - Kegging ONLY

NOTE: These steps must be followed in order. If metabisulfite is added after sorbate then chemical reactions can occur that will give the cider a 'geranium' off flavor.

- add 1/4 tsp potassium metabisulfite to 5 gal of cider to inhibit yeast and bacterial growth.
- Wait at least 12 hours.
- add 2-1/2 tsp potassium sorbate to 5 gal of cider to halt fermentation.
- Wait at least 24 hours. 48 hours is ideal.
- Transfer cider to a keg.
- Purge oxygen from headspace.
- Remove a sample of cider and add apple juice concentrate until you're happy with the flavor.
- Take a gravity reading of the cider sample, then dose the main batch until the gravity readings match. Err on the side of too little.
- carbonate to desired levels

Very good read on backsweetening -

8/23/2019 tasting notes:
I tasted and back-sweetened the ciders today. The preference of my wife and I was the champagne yeast batch. The champagne yeast batch had a dry champagne quality that we both enjoyed; it was smoother too. The mangrove jack batch was nice an clean, with a slight bitterness on the backend. Both finished at 0.994. I tend to like my cider on the dryer side, but not bone dry. I back-sweetened the mangrove jack cider to 1.002 and the champagne yeast cider to .999 with frozen apple juice concentrate from the grocery store. I decided to backsweeten the mangrove jack batch a little more to help balance out the bitterness; it seemed to do the trick. No additional tannins or acidity were required. The crab apples did a great job of adding the acidity the cider needed.

The mangrove jack cider was slightly more bitter than the champagne batch, this is probably due to the ratio of crab apples to culinary apples. The champagne batch was obviously darker than the mangrove jack. This could be due to oxidation or the ratio of apples. The cider carboy was less full, while the mangrove jack carboy was filled to the brim, so oxidation could certainly be a factor. However, campden tablets are supposed to help with oxidation, both batches certainly had a decent amount of campden tablets added to halt the yeast. I'm used to oxidation flavors in beer, I don't get those stale flavors from the champagne batch. The fact that my wife and I prefer the champagne batch would indicate that it's probably not oxidized. Time will tell, I'll update this if it starts to exibit oxidation flavors.

Notes: planning to pitch on old yeast cake - wanted to just rack the new wort on the old cake but forumers are making me scared about overpitching since this beer is about same gravity as the last - but maybe ill do like a "jars worth".

note that belgian pale ale is more like belgian blonde ale, which i didnt really want to do (just did a belgian blonde - thats where the yeast is from). for this i wanted to mix a belgian single/blonde with an american pale ale - slightly hop forward pale ale (but not too ipa-ey) on belgian yeast. had leftover ingredients from a canceled pilsner so decided to use that for a decent fresh maltey grainey backbone.

Notes: Toast flaked adjuncts in oven on 350 degrees until lightly roasted and the whole house smells of fresh baked bread. This will add another level of complexity to your beer and make for a superior Black IPA.

Steep grains at 150 to 160 degrees for 45 mins with just enough water to cover your grains then rinse grains with 1.5 gal of 170 degree water.
