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: Boil water first to deoxygenate, add maltodextrin and 1 oz nutrient blend (to sanitize), cool to 170, add flaked (quick) oats, hold for 30 minutes (this supposedly locks in starches for mouthfeel, but they may be fermentable by the Brett later on... so if nothing else, it will just give them more food for the funk. I used a bag, and squeezed when done... lots of gooey goodness came out!), then cool to 100 F. Add honey and mix until dissolved well. Measure pH if able, and add 88% lactic acid to adjust pH down to ~4.5 (not required, but helps against unwanted organism contamination), and then pitch one shot of Goodbelly (lacto plantarum). Make sacc yeast starter, oxygenating and adding 1/2 oz yeast nutrient.

Let sit for 24-48 hrs (to taste, or pH reading, if you're looking for a specific level). Can boil now to kill lacto and lock in sour level (but boiling will also volalitlize some honey aromatics, so I don't plan on doing it), or just pitch sacc if you don't mind it getting more sour over time (I'd only go 24 hrs if so). Add 1/4 oz yeast nutrient when pitching sacc. Ferment temp controlled at 64-5 for first 3-4 days, degassing each day, then can warm up to room temp to finish attenuation, adding last 1/4 nutrient then. After a week or so (doesn't need to be completely dry yet), add Brett(s), and let it do its thing for a couple months...

Dry hop, or add fruit to, all or a portion, if desired, before bottling. Get creative with complementary flavors!

Notes: This is a very nice drinking ale. Ready to bottle or keg in 8 to 10 days but I always follow 1wk primary, 2wks secondary,(you must let the yeast finish and this is where the beer becomes crystal clear) then keg or bottle....If you bottle, let it sit for 2 to 3 weeks minimum. It will be worth the wait! also used 1 whole Whirfloc tablet. All my friends loved this one. Be careful! this stuff will sneak up on you! Prime with 4oz. priming sugar as usual.
