Notes: Mash Grains in 3.25 Gallons x 90 min at 154F. At end of mash add 16oz crushed Acid Malt and stir then sparge off 6.25 gallons to ultra sanitary Metal pot fermenter. Purge air space with Co2. Cool to 95F and pitch 8oz Goodbelly Mango Probiotic drink. Flush again with Co2. Lacto ferment with Heat Belt at 90 to 95F for 48 to 120 hrs to sour. Boil as usual to 5.5 gallons. Note Add 2.5gm yeast neut to boil and 1 lb DME for head retention and 1.5 lb Belgian Candi Sugar to boil. Cool to 68F and Oxygenate well and pitch SA-5 to Sacc ferment. Transfer to secondary and add 2 to 4 lemon zest (to taste) and 1 oz Fresh Ginger Root Minced, 0.5 oz Crushed Coriander. Bottle as usual. May want to add champagne yeast at bottling as it is acid resistant. If you want a lower alcohol brew then don't add the Candi Sugar.

Notes: Hop Bursting går ut på å la all bitterheten i et brygg komme fra sene humletilsetninger. Dette gir en mildere bitterhet og et tonn med deilig aroma!

Notes: See description in my brew blog. Really nice darker Rye kicked IPA. One of my brew friends went nuts over this one :)

Nope no 60 min hop boil. Im going more and more to hop blast method, get the IBU you want with 15 min or less additions, preserves more hop flavor, and does not take much more hops at all.

http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2015/07/apricots-lactobacillus-and-hops.html

measured pre-boil gravity after 4 days of souring at 1.042 or 1.043. Sweet wort tastes a little sour, definitely lots of cooked corn aroma, which I hope will boil off. Boiled for 90 mins.

After 8 days of fermentation, refractometer read 6.8 brix, which puts this at about 1.006. After chilling, the sample was moderately sour but very clean, not having much saison character. Apricot puree added after 8 days of fermentation.

3/14: sampled, apricot added a nice background note. added 1 pound of frozen mangos.

Let Warm (24-48h) to 50F.
Ferment around 50F until the yeast drops clear. (~14 days) with Diacetyl rest 60F (days 13-14)

Cold Crash. Fine with Gelatin.

Rack to Keg. Target a carbonation level of 2 to 2.5 volumes.

Apfelwein (German Hard Cider)

This took 1st Place at the 2007 Alamo City Cerveza Fest BJCP sanctioned competition for the Cider and Apple Wine Category and 2nd Place for Best of Show for Meads & Ciders!

Ingredients

5 Gallons 100% Apple Juice (No preservatives or additives) I use Tree Top Apple Juice
2 pounds of dextrose (corn sugar) in one pound bags
1 five gram packet of Montrachet Wine Yeast

Equipment

5 Gallon Carboy (I use a Better Bottle)
Carboy Cap or Stopper with Airlock
Funnel

First sanitize the carboy, airlock, funnel, stopper or carboy cap.
Open one gallon bottle of apple juice and pour half of it into the carboy using the funnel.
Open one bag of Dextrose and carefully add it to the now half full bottle of apple juice. Shake well.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3, then go to step 5.
Pour in the mixture of Apple Juice and Dextrose from both bottles into the carboy.
Add all but 1 quart of remaining 3 gallons of apple juice to the carboy.
Open the packet of Montrachet Yeast and pour it into the neck of the funnel.
Use the remaining quart of juice to wash down any yeast that sticks. I am able to fit all but 3 ounces of apple juice into a 5 gallon Better Bottle. You may need to be patient to let the foam die down from all shaking and pouring.
Put your stopper or carboy cap on with an airlock and fill the airlock with cheap vodka. No bacteria will live in vodka and if you get suckback, you just boosted the abv.

There’s no need to worry about filling up a carboy so full when you use Montrachet wine yeast. There is no Kreuzen, just a thin layer of bubbles (
). I'm able to fit all but 4 oz. of my five gallons in the bottle. Ferment at room temperature.

It will become cloudy in a couple of days and remain so for a few weeks. In the 4th week, the yeast will begin to drop out and it will become clear. After at least 4 weeks, you can keg or bottle, but it is ok to leave it in the carboy for another month or so. Racking to a secondary is not necessary. It ferments out very dry (less than 0.999, see here)

If you want to bottle and carbonate, ¾ cup of corn sugar will work fine. Use as you would carbonate a batch of beer.

Remember to reserve judgment till after 3 glasses. It grows on you.

GENERAL QUESTIONS
compiled by Dammed Squirrels from the first 37 pages of this thread. Thanks DS!

How does it taste?
It ferments quite dry. Some people have tried different yeasts in order to achieve a sweeter taste. It may take you a few glasses to get a feel for the flavor. It is very reminiscent of a sort of apfelwein produced locally in Germany. There really is no comparable product in the United States. It's drier and less sweet than commercial hard ciders.

What is the difference between Apfelwein and hard cider?
EdWort says, “Most ciders are a bit sweeter. Ciders and Apfelwein are about 6% abv, but I like the little boost I give it with 2 pounds of Dextrose. It adds no body or flavor and still tastes like Possmann's Apfelwein, only it will kick your butt much quicker.”

Is this like Apfelmost / Apfel Korn?
No. Apfel Korn is a german liqeur made from wheat spirits. Apfelmost is spontaneously fermented with fresh-pressed apples or apple juice. It is probably similar, but the results may vary as a result of the spontaneous fermentation. Either way, Apfelmost is most certainly has a lower alcohol content since the initial gravity is not increased by the use of concentrate or corn sugar.

What’s the difference between apple juice and cider?
Cider is made by pressing apples. Juice is then filtered to remove all of the stuff that makes it cloudy.

Can I use apple cider instead?
Sure! You can use whatever you want. However, there is not enough information in this thread to give you any better details as to how it will turn out. I recommend starting a new thread or ask more experienced cider-makers.

What kind of Apple Juice should I use?
Ideally, you want to use 100% natural apple juice with no preservatives. The only acceptable preservative is ascorbic acid, which is a source of vitamin C and does not affect fermentation. Pasteurized juice is preferred, since it will have less bacteria.

How much will this recipe cost me?
5 gallons of Apfelwein can be made for between 20 and 25 dollars.

What else can you do with this recipe?
EdWort says, "this makes a great Grog in the winter time. Take a quart in a sauce pan, add some rum, turbinado sugar, and float a cinnamon stick in it and simmer for a while. Serve hot in mugs. It'll warm you right up."

GENERAL WARNINGS

Excessive consumption of Apfelwein WILL get you drunk at warp speed.

Drink a quart of water and take 3 aspirin before going to sleep tol help reduce the effects of excessive Apfelwein consumption as well as the urge to call EdWort a M'F**kR! [IMG]/images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/IMG]

4th iteration of the recipe to get as close as possible to the commercial example. If you want to make an inspired version of it then don't look here. '
Clone' means to make it as close to the real thing as possible, don't add random bits of crap in there because you feel like it.
