Notes: I use 1/2 oz of the El Dorado for 15 min left in the boil. Hopstand 1 oz Eldorado and 1.5 oz Mosaic at flame out. 10 min after that another hopstand with the rest of El Dorado and Mosaic. 3 days into fermentation dry hop with the Ekunot. Day 7ish kegged carbed and drinking day 10. Last time I made this was partial mash. Was really good. Loosely based on Batsquatch. Had really good haze but after a few weeks clears out but was still good. So this all grain version I upped the flaked grains and malted wheat. Going to brew this weekend.

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: Using a packet of Safale-05 and a packet Danstar Windsor yeast.
Aerated for 35 minute with air pump and 5 micron stone. Pitched both yeast starters into wort. After 4 days the fermentation stopped so did a starter with Mangrove Jack Belgian Ale yeast (1/2 packet) in 1.3 liter starter and pitched into the beer to help finish. At this point I also added the 1.3 pounds of maple syrup. After 4 more days of fermentation the beer finished at 1.022. The final ABV is 12.7%.

Notes: Recipe Notes:

2-Row: Base malt, slightly toastier malt flavour well-suited for pale ales.

CaraMunich I: Results in increased fullness, heightened malt aroma, full, round flavor, deep, saturated color. Own: sweeter but lighter bread notes than victory.

Victory: Use up to 15% in a mash. Gives deep gold to light brown color and biscuity, toasty, baking bread, and nutty flavors. Excellent for brown ales. Own: very baking bread-y, absolutely delicious when biting into.

Amarillo: Alpha 6-9%. Amarillo hops are a new classic for hoppy American ales. Combines floral, tropical, citrus and grapefruit notes. Quality late addition hop and for dry-hopping.

FF: A flavour and aroma hop with distinct tropical, citrus, floral, grapefruit and lemon notes. A versatile hop that can be used in almost any pale brew; Lager, Kolsch, ESB, Pilsner, IPA, Pale Ale & Belgian Ales.

Willamette: A quality aroma hop and a popular American-grown version of Fuggles. Often used in both American and British style ales, this hop produces flavours/aromas of earthy, fruity, floral, and slightly woody. Great multi-purpose home brewing ingredient.

Nelson Sauvin: High Alpha Acid, dual-purpose hop known for it's white wine fruitiness and flavours of crushed gooseberry. This distinctive hop derives it's name from Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Great for American IPA's, Pale Ales, Pale Lagers. Beer ingredient for home beer making.

Yeast: A classic in American ale yeast that offers excellent fermentation performance. Quick, clean and well- attenuating are the chief properties of this ale yeast. Most comparable to "Chico"-style strains. Stays clean, even at slightly higher than average temperatures (up to 78F). Higher flocculation than most other strains of the style.

BIAB Procedure

Brew365 calculator.

Parameters:
Batch size 3.2 g
Trub loss 0.5 g
Mash thickness 1.5qts/lb
Grain temp 70 f
Wort shrinkage 4%
Grain absorption 0.13g/lb
Boil off 15%

1. Start with strike water of 8.2L (2.16G) @ 164F.
2. Put in 5.75 lbs of grains.
3. Rest at 153F for 60 mins.
4. Assuming grain absorption of 0.13G/lb, should end up with 1.38G in brew kettle.
5. Prepare for dunk sparge by adding 11.8L (3.13G) to secondary brew kettle. Add grain bag for 15 minutes @ 170F. Squeeze.
6. Begin partial mash out in primary brew kettle for 15 minutes @ 170F.
7. Add sparge water to primary brew kettle. This should result in 4.5G of pre-boil wort.
8. Begin boil as usual

Went from 8.2L to 5.9L for mash. Dunk sparge was 11.8L, assuming 11L after sparge, roughly about 4.5G pre-boil.

Pre-Boil Gravity reading: 1.02 @ 145F

Once again, my thermo broke, just as I was about to re-hydrate my yeast. What can explain this!? I'll just pitch dry now. I have never had ill effects in the past.

Very active signs of fermentation in the fridge by Sunday afternoon (08/03), but it probably started earlier. It should be done NO LATER than Friday (08/08).

08/06: Gravity reads 1.013. Begin dry hopping. The taste is actually quite fruity - much more than I expected. Very light body, but maybe that will change with the C02. Hopefully it turns out alright.

Update: Tried kegging for the first time. I wanted to force carb it by shaking it, since Rob and Sean were supposed to come up. I didnt fully connect the gas line to the co2 regulator, so I think I exposed the beer to oxygen when force carbing. Came out tasting terrible. Next, time I'll really check my connection and force carb it over 2-3 days rather than 15 minutes.

- Mashed in with 120F water to reach +/- 110. Held for 10 minutes.
- 1st decoction (1/3 of mash). decoction brought to 150, held for 15 min. Brought to boil, boil for 10 min, returned to mash.

- 2nd decoction (1/3 of mash), brought to boil, boil for 10 min, returned to mash. (temp check here was supposed to be 150, only hit 135, so proceeded with additional decoctions to bring temp up)
- 3rd decoction (1/3 of mash), brought to boil then added back to mash.
- 4th decoction (1/3 of mash) brought to boil then added back to mash. Temp check at +/- 145F. Held here for 30 min.
