Notes: Mix the juice with the pectin, nutrient, and yeast in the primary.
When ready to rack to the secondary, boil the cranberries, cinnamon, clove, and zest. Cool and place the solids in a mesh bag. Add the bag and the water to the secondary and rack the cider over them. |

Notes: 480 oz of apple juice
Added .9 lb of Turbinado.
Made a 2 step starter of WLP001
Brought apple juice to build and mixed in honey, brown sugar, and turbinado.
Original Instructions
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: Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix immediately after pitching yeast.
Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix 24 hours after fermentation begins.
Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix 48 hours after fermentation begins.
Add ¾ teaspoon yeast energizer/nutrient mix after 30% of the sugar has been depleted.
Special Instructions / Notes:
Berries were frozen and then mostly thawed. I squished the bags of fruit to break them up a bit and used a large mouth funnel to get them into the carboy.
I did not heat the honey at all, just dumped right into carboy. I heated up some of the water I was using for top off and used that warm water to rinse the honey out of the jars and into the carboy. Used a paint stir bar on a drill to mix honey and water (and oxygenate). Added berries and gave a gentle stir to mix everything
Fermented at 68 degrees for three to four weeks with staggered nutrient additions
Cap management is important for releasing toxic CO2 and preventing temperature buildup below the cap. I swirled the carboy once in the morning and once in the evening for about 5 days to mix the fruit cap back down and release CO2
You will lose a lot of mead to the berries. I chilled the carboy down, racked to a secondary off the berries, chilled that carboy down, let set for a week or so, then kegged. This mead can plug a keg line easily if you're not careful.
Can taste a bit like children's cough syrup early on but eventually smoothes out, I haven't been able to keep any longer than a year before drinking it all. |
