Notes: Steeped grains for 20 minutes before boil.
Made a yeast starter.
Primary temp fluctuated between 17C and 21C. Maybe down to 16C - winter temps. Fermentation not visible until 48 hours.
Primary for 12 days, not sealed. Opened maybe 6 times total to check fermentation.
Transferred to secondary with racking cane. First time unsuccessful, so I had to refill siphon with sanitizer and do it again.
Bung was still wet when attempted to put on. Pressed it too hard and it entered carboy. Temporarily covered with unsanitized aluminum foil for 24 hours.
Boiled 300ml of water and added 1/2 cup corn sugar (dextrose). Worried about 1 gallon of headspace in secondary. Added dextrose and installed bung and airlock. Filled airlock with vodka.
Bottled on 02/19/2014.
Update: 07/22/2014. Forgot to take tasting notes :(. But I remember it being really good despite my conceived screw-ups. |

Notes: The honey is not in Charlie's original recipe, but it sounds like a nice addition to me. The original recipe also calls for American ale yeast, but all that I have is English ale yeast. |

----------------------
I wasn't picking up any lavender when I was emptying the sediment after about 2 weeks, so I boiled some additional Lavender and added it in. I'm a big lavender fan, so I really liked it. If you want more of a subtle flavor, I'd stick with just the measurement used in the recipe. Didn't pick up much lemon flavor, probably because the hops were pretty intense. Overall I was pretty happy with the brew. |

Notes: Ferment 3 weeks, after primary fermentation begins to slow (around 3-4 days) add simply limeade otherwise fermentation might overflow.
*Optional cherry addition after 2 weeks to produce a more cherry limeade flavor. I usually split the batch, bottle half normally and add the remaining beer to secondary racked on sour cherry concentrate for a few days then bottle. |

Adjusted hop schedule to:
0.5 oz 60 minutes
0.5 oz 30 minutes
0.5 oz 15 minutes
0.5 oz 0 minutes
1.0 oz dry hop
Set boil size to 3 gallons. For a 3 gallon boil, use 2 lb LME wheat for boil, in addition to steeping grains, to achieve 35 IBU for Gumbalhead. Add remaining LME after boil to keep SRM in 3-6 range. |

Notes: This is a very simple cider with few additives to let the apple flavor shine through. With proper aging, it produces a dry, fruity cider.
- Add 1g/L Malic acid to lower pH by .1 as needed to reach 3.7 pH.
- Check pH and add potassium metabisulfite as needed for a partial kill (for more information see chart: www.cider.org.uk/sulphite.html).
- Stock solution SO2: dissolve 3 grams of potassium metabisulphite in 30 ml (also grams) of water which corresponds to 50 ppm of SO2 for a six gallon batch
- Wait 24 to 48 hours before adding pectic enzyme and pitching rehydrated yeast.
- Primary fermentation: 4-6 weeks @ 55°
- Add 5 crushed campden tablets dissolved in a bit of cider to carboy /keg before transferring for secondary/conditioning.
- Secondary: 8 weeks or until clear @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps)
- Keg condition: 6 months @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps) in pressurized keg
