Notes: Cane sugar is included to represent the sugars of 64oz blueberry juice plus 48oz pomegranate juice, converting their natural sugar from grams to pounds.
Yeast used: Lalvin 71B, 25g (5 standard packets)
The fruit is listed under "Steeping Grains" but is actually added directly to the fermenter along with the juice. |

Notes: Trying to turn out a very quick cider:
- Rehydrate one packet of Lallemand Voss in GoFerm PE as per instructions
- Pitch into ~4.6 gal of Kirkland brand apple juice @90f. Add 10-11 drops Fermcap S to reduce krausen and hopefully prevent the mess that's pretty much guaranteed to happen given the inadequate headspace I'm providing - even given I'm starting with a blowoff tube. Ramp temperature up to 96f over the next few hours.
- Just after lag phase has ended mix 7.5g Fermaid O into some apple juice until thoroughly dissolved, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.7 gal total.
- Just before the 1.3 sugar break (1.040-1.034) mix 7.5g Fermaid O into some apple juice until thoroughly dissolved, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.8 gal total.
- After ~24 hours at FG, start cold crashing.
- Rack to serving keg after 24-48 hours at cold crash temperatures, and start force carbing.
- Taste and stabilize and backsweeten or add flavoring if necessary. I have a variety of tinctures I might add to make this more interesting, depending on how things turn out.
- Drink Young, hopefully within a week or so.
Nutrient schedule is roughly cribbed from https://www.meadmakr.com/batch-buildr/, using the Fermaid O only TONSA 2.0 schedule, with high nitrogen requirements and taking into account that the Voss Kviek is (hopefully) going to blitz through the must. |

Notes: Add 4 oz/gal of moderately strong fresh-brewed coffee to the fermenter.
This actually uses Muntons EXTRA DARK DME which has 2-Row, caramel, roasted barley and choc malt.
Coffee was 2 "scoops" of dark roast and 4 "cups" of water. Then I measured 12 oz and threw that in at the boil's end.
