Notes: Had to fudge the recipe to fit fermentables. Actual List:
Amount Ingredient Timing
2.5 gal. Apple Cider (100% juice, no additives, unpasteurized) -45 min.
2 oz. Dark DME -45
16 oz. Cranberry 100% Juice -45
16 oz. Tart Cherry 100% Juice -45
4 oz. Lemon Juice -15 minutes
2 sticks Cinnamon Stick -15
1 lb. Dark Brown Sugar -15
32 oz. Honey -15
1/2 tab Whirlfloc -15
3/4 tsp. Yeast Nutrient -15
1.5 tsp. Allspice 0 (end of "boil")
1.5 tsp. Nutmeg 0
2x12oz cans Frozen Apple Juice Concentrate 15
1 pkg. Yeast (Red Star Pasteur Blanc Champagne Dried Yeast) Primary
1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract Secondary
1 stick Cinnamon Stick Secondary
3 lbs. Fresh apples, sliced Secondary
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Bring initial ingredients to 170F, then start timer at 45 minutes.
2. Simmer at 170F (max) for 45 min. Do NOT boil as it will extract pectins resulting in permanent haze.
3. Smile
4. Primary fermentation 1 week, or until it slows significantly
5. Secondary fermentation 2+ weeks to complete dryness. Excess residual sugar = bottle bombs.
6. Wash apples thoroughly, cut into thin slices. Keep stems, seeds and peels for tannin content. Rinse with StarSan solution.
7. Check that F.G. is in the range 0.996 - 1.010
8. Priming sugar, use 1/2 cup light brown sugar or honey |

Notes: Recipe adjusted for bottling i.e. OG left 5 points below required to allow for extra provided by bottling sugar. Same applies to ABV - adjusted for extra 0.5% at bottling.
Briess Pils malt used but Extra Lite shown in recipe for higher PPG.
Minimash with 0.375kg of LME at 67 degrees for 45 mins. This high mash temp is to get mouthfeel be retaining some of the low temp sugars. Check OG after mash. Mash OG 1 point below.
2 + 1 litre ice and some chilled water required to quick chill wort.
Aerate wort with air stone for 10 minutes. Yeast enzyme in boil.
Overfilled fermenter by 0.5L and missed 1062OG.
Fresh pack of Abbaye Yeast used. Pitched at 16-17c on 30 August. Kept low for 2-3 days and then allowed to increase to 19c and then moved to warmer kitchen after 6-7 days.
Racked to secondary on 9 September.
Bottled 19 September 2015. |

-- A yeast starter and 2-stage fermentation is highly recommended
for this beer.
-- 6 gallon batch size - This recipe has been calculated to
produce 6 gallons to accommodate wort losses due to the
ridiculous amount of hops

Notes: I have the liquid extract can size set at 3.3lb's, because that's the only number I could find on the net. I guess it's correct.
This recipe does equal the actual abv according to the hydrometer reading.
OG: 1.154
(post wort [aka post yeast-pitch] day-#2 in carboy: 1.024)
FG: 1.014
Supposedly, that should equal 18.3% abv., but this recipe calculator suggests 3.9%. I'm not convinced it's 18%, but it's sure not 3.9% either! Perhaps it is stronger than I think, b/c I usually have a bit of a head-pounding afterward.
Is priming sugar not included in this form? |

Notes: If you like a nice pepper beer with an extra kick (but not over powering), this might be right up your ally!
A day or two before Secondary Fermentation, Roast habanero peppers over open flame until a nice char is present or bake in oven at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.
Cover roasted peppers with vodka or Bourbon in a sealed container and soak for at least 24 hours. (this will sanitize the peppers).
Add peppers to carboy or secondary fermentor and rack in beer.
Add in vodka or Bourbon for extra kick if desired. It will raise the avb another .5% or so.(Otherwise save the booze for some kick-ass bloody mary's!)
Also, instead of adding peppers to the secondary fermentor. You can add the peppers directly to individual bottles during bottling day. This gives a very unique flavor as well!
Experiment and enjoy |

Steeped the two varieties of grains and the roasted barley (4.2oz of each) for 30 minutes
Flame out part way through - no thermometer so i turned the flame on and off so as not to scorch
Removed grain
Added
1oz Cascade 7.1 AA
1oz East Kent Golding 5.6 AA
Set timer for 30min
About 7.5min to go – added 1oz East Kent Golding 5.6 AA
In a side pot – transferred some wort and dissolved 1lb DME and 0.5 lb sugar.
At end of timer, flame off and transferred side pot to main pot, removed hops, began cold crash.
I added two packs of dry Safale US-05 right into the fermenter - no rehydration.
The wort (pre-yeast) tasted amazing. Pretty sweet but thats to be expected at this point in the process. Has a good strong coffee taste to it.
Tuesday 9/26/2017 - Didn't notice much of any fermentation happening so I took a gravity reading and to my surprise, it was down to a little over 1.030 from a start of 1.090! It still tasted pretty sweet and I feel like the coffee taste has diminished somewhat.
There seemed to be stuff collecting at the bottom - not sure if it was dead yeast or what but I decided to stir things up a bit - literally. Then I re-hydrated about half a packet of Safale US-05 and poured that into the fermenter. Let's see what happens.
