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.

HISTORIC
YEAST / OG / FG
WLP775 / 1.073 / 1.012 -5 gal. juice to 3 lbs honey
WLP005 / 1.087 / 1.030 -6 gal. juice to 6 lbs honey(4 gal. split)
EC-1118 / 1.087 / 1.011 -6 gal. juice to 6 lbs honey (2 gal. split)

Notes: 1. Yeast starter
2. Collect and heat 2.5 gallons of water.
3. Add 0.5 oz of Amarillo hops directly into the boil kettle.
4. For mail-order customers grains for extract kits come
crushed by default, but if you requested uncrushed
grains, crush them now. Pour crushed grain into
supplied mesh bag and tie the open end in a knot. Steep
for 20 minutes or until water reaches 170°F. Remove
bag and discard.
5. Bring to a boil and add the 6.3 lbs Gold malt syrup.
Remove the kettle from the burner and stir in the
Gold malt syrup.
6. Return wort to boil. The mixture is now called “wort”,
the brewer’s term for unfermented beer.
- Add 2 oz Warrior hops and boil for 60 minutes.
- Add 2 lbs Golden Light dme 15 minutes from then
end of the boil.
- Add 2 oz Amarillo hops at the end of boil.
7. Cool the wort. When the 60-minute boil is finished,
cool the wort to approximately 100° F as rapidly as
possible. Use a wort chiller, or put the kettle in an ice
bath in your sink.
8. Sanitize fermenting equipment and yeast pack. While
the wort cools, sanitize the fermenting equipment –
fermenter, lid or stopper, fermentation lock, funnel, etc –
along with the yeast pack and a pair of scissors.
9. Fill primary fermenter with 2 gallons of cold water,
then pour in the cooled wort. Leave any thick sludge in
the bottom of the kettle.
10. Add more cold water as needed to bring the
volume to 5 gallons.
11. Aerate the wort. Seal the fermenter and rock back
and forth to splash for a few minutes, or use an aeration
system and diffusion stone.
12. OPTIONAL: if you have our Mad Brewer Upgrade or
Gravity Testing kits, measure specific gravity of the wort
with a hydrometer and record.
13. Add yeast once the temperature of the wort is 78°F or
lower (not warm to the touch). Use the sanitized scissors
to cut off a corner of the yeast pack, and carefully pour
the yeast into the primary fermenter.
14. Seal the fermenter. Add approximately 1 tablespoon of
water to the sanitized fermentation lock. Insert the lock
into rubber stopper or lid, and seal the fermenter.
15. Move the fermenter to a warm, dark, quiet spot until
fermentation begins.

Notes: A really floral Amber ale. Just enough bitterness that everyone will enjoy. Closely resembles Widmer Alchemy ale. Recipes don't get much easier and much better for the extract brewer. Steep your grains at 165 for 45 minutes before your boil when you add your extract. Then remove grains and boil, add your extract. Return to boil, add hops at timed intervals. Cool to 70ish and pitch yeast in a sanitized fermenter. Once your airlock stops bubbling transfer into a glass carboy for 2 to 3 weeks, I Kegged mine but bottling is standard rules of 3/4 cup of corn sugar in 2 cups of boiling water and transfer into bottling bucket or carboy. Then bottle. Have fun with this recipe. It's the most basic you can get for partial mash brewing. Soon you will be adding more grains and using less extract.

Notes: A nice small-batch brew, a classic pale ale. Nicely hopped, with great bitterness, and the addition of malt gives it a well-rounded profile. I use this in my Mr Beer Coopers Craft Brewing vessel, which is 15l. Higher efficiencies will fluctuate the ABV a tiny bit. 70% efficiency will net you, on average, an extra 0.5%.

Notes: Slice up strawberries and basil leaves and stored in a quart jar with the vodka while the beer is in the primary fermenter. Use a big mouth bubbler secondary fermenter with a depth charge hop basket and dump the strawberry/basil/vodka mixture into the depth charge hop basket. Leave in the secondary for 14 days.
