Tastes pretty good. Light and refreshing. Lemon flavor is a little more prominent than expected but still good. Maybe use less lemon zest or different hops. Tastes more like a pale ale than a wheat beer probably because I only added wheat extract. Partial mash malted wheat or flaked wheat and base grain to get it more wheaty. But lemon pale ale works just as well! |

Notes: Created for a customer based on this post by Morrey on Homebrew Talk: Along with my buddy fellow HBT member Key West Brewing, we exchanged ideas about the best way to create a Margarita Gose without overdoing things, but to create a taste profile that gets your attention.
I started the 5G batch with a basic 50/50 wheat to 2 row base and kettle soured with L Plantarum down to 3.24 ph. I kept the Saaz hop bill low (8 IBU) during the boil following souring. I was generous with a full ounce of pink sea salt and an ounce of coriander knowing I wanted a salty flavor profile with this beer.
The 1.040 beer finished nicely at 1.008 with US-05. First time I made a sour with dry yeast and it worked as well as any liquid like WLP001 or WLP029 I had used prior. I'll stick with US-05 from now on.
During fermentation, I zested 4 small limes taking the green skin with a vegetable peeler leaving the white pith behind. I soaked these lime peels in 3/4 cup of good anjeo tequila to make a tincture. The limes marinated in this tincture for two weeks while beer was in primary.
When racked to keg, I strained the zest and pitched the tincture while siphoning beer to keg. My initial taste was very "limey" but I was lacking tequila depth for my tastes. I next took a cup of the same tequila in a mason jar and added two medium toasted oak cubes. My goal here was to emulate a beer that was aged in a tequila barrel. The tequila picked up a really nice oaky aroma while aging one additional week.
In the meantime while this oak tincture was infusing, I was carbing the keg and sampling. The lime calmed down perfectly and needed no additional adjustments. I then pitched the oak infused tequila tincture and let it rest several more days.
I hate to sound self-serving, but this has got to be one of the best beers I have ever made! The salt balances the lime and the oak is very subtle but adds in with the hint of tequila making this a perfect margarita style. Glad this is a relatively low ABV beer since I can't seem to stay away from it!
Just wanted to share........:mug: |

Notes: This brew is an iteration of a few ciders using different grain bills (juice to honey ratios) with various yeasts.
Notes:
5lbs = 5 Gal. Apple Juice (if this is your first cider, use organic juice without potassium sorbate; it will kill the yeast and not ferment). Don't think I used maltodextrin here.
The rest of the grain bill is accurate. If a little less kick is needed, try one of the alternates below. I'm using WLP001 this time because of its tolerance for high alcohol, higher fermenting temp and because it finishes sweater (personally I prefer the dryness of the EC-1118 but then it's closer to Cyser territory).
I'm thinking ABV should be close to 10%. Also, because OG will be relatively high I'm using a starter. One could also double pitch with decent results. I've pitched one yeast pack before and still not had any problems.
Basic steps: Boil 2 gal. apple juice and add honey stirring constantly. (Honey is heavy and will sink to the bottom. It burns easily like candi syrup.) Boil juice, honey and sugar together for at least 20 minutes. Combine wort with remaining juice once temps drop to pitching levels.

Notes: This is a test run using Knudsens organic pear juice. Very pricey at 6 dollars a quart/ making 0.75 gallon Measured SG = 1.058 (NO sugar was added- used sugar on grainbill because an option for pear juice is not there :) )
Yeast will be mangrove jack belgian
make starter with 1 cap of water and 1.2 oz of table sugar. I will use ~ 1/3 of the pack which should be way more than enough of a pitch. Aeration will be with vigourous shaking of half-filled 1 gallon jug.then top off. I wired on the rubber bung and airlock. seemed like it wants to pop off.
Pitch 2 PM 9/6/15
Added pectinase 9/7/15 to help clarification
SG = 1.012 on 9.25.15 6% ABV
Taste test : more like a white wine than a cider. Good. Carb this baby up
tasted 10/2. Very nice!!!!!! light and fruity, really like a smei dry white wine

Notes: All the spices over there are optional additions for you to mix and match to your taste. I put them in so you have an idea of quantity and useage to start with.
Cinnamon stick (and any fibrous spice) I always steam before adding to secondary, both to sterilize them and to break down the fibers.
The Brown sugar is optional but will provide an alcohol warmth that pairs well with spice additions. |
