Notes: Simple plan for simple stuff:

- Pitch one packet of S-04 into 4 gal of Kirkland brand apple juice @~59f. Keep temperature stable.
- Just after lag phase has ended, mix 1.5-2g Fermaid O into some apple juice, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.7 gal total. This should be on the lower end of the nutrient schedule, hopefully just enough to ward off diacetyl and sulphur.
- Wait until >50% attenuated, and start ramping the temperature a couple of degrees a day to ~68.
- With a couple of points left to go until FG, ~1.007ish, add the dry hops.
- Let dry hop for 4-7 days, cold crashing at FG.
- Rack to serving keg after 24-48 hours at cold crash temperatures.
- Let condition in the fridge, hopefully drink young.

------------------------------------------------------

10/16/20:

Racked after cold crash w/ 7 days hop contact (5 @ 67f, 2 during cold crash) to serving keg. Next time I'll use a hop bag rather than letting them float freely - even after the cold crash there was enough in suspension to clog the floating dip tube, so I had to open everything up and siphon-pump transfer. Not ideal, hopefully oxidization doesn't become a problem.

Manual hydrometer readings verified that this ended up right around 1.002, and a taste of the pre-carb sample was pretty good. There's no detectable sulfur taste, no other significant fermentation off flavors, and mild apple flavor (about as much as is reasonable considering I'm not back-sweetening), though the hops are a little grassy and dank.

Next time I'll probably switch up the hops to something fruity and tropical, and limit the contact time a little more (maybe 3 days at room temp before cold crashing?)

Plan is to burst carb @30psi for ~24 hours, then turn it down to ~12psi and shamelessly drink under-carbed cider till it's ready.

------------------------------------------------------

10/20/20:

After a little more thought I turned the pressure down to 14psi rather than 12, to give it a little more mouthfeel from increased carbonation and help the hop aromatics. It's been a few days since then, and the general consensus is that this turned out really well!

In line with my initial impressions, there aren't any fermentation off flavors I can pick out, but, with carbonation, the S-04 has left pleasant but subtle notes I'd normally associate with ale. The finished cider is crystal clear, very dry without being astringent or harsh, and has a crisp, tart, finish. Apple notes are distinguishable on the finish, but meld with the hop flavors well enough you have to pay attention. While the hop flavors started out worryingly grassy and dank, that quickly faded into the sort of smooth herbal spice I'd expect from Tettnanger and Willamette.

It's really a shame I didn't brew this at the start of summer, rather than at the start of fall, but that can be fixed next year!

Notes: Been asked by several to post this recipe so here it is. This is a fairly simple wheat beer recipe that is a real crowd pleaser. Great for hot summer days or back yard BBQ.

I usually do a single packet of yeast, dry pitch, no starter required but optional. "Lemons": some people worry about the pith of the lemon (white part of the rind) giving an off bitter taste, I've not had any issues but if it makes you feel better to scrap the zest and peal the lemon then go for it.

Notes: Plan to rack onto 4-5 lbs of freshly picked blueberries (previously frozen to preserve and partially pasteurized) in secondary fermentation.

May dry hop with an ounce or two of Saaz and/or Sorachi Ace for 2-3 days before moving to a tertiary fermentation for clarity.

Pitched yeast around 19 degrees Celsius and plan to ferment around 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit.

Notes: 3 Gallons of cider is approximately 25 Lbs. and the OG was 1.049... several forums say this is the way to make the apple addition so here we go..

The actual complete batch size should be 3 gallons apple cider to approximately 2.5 gallons of beer wart. So total should be about 5.5 gallons in the primary.

To error on the side of caution I'm going to heat the cider to 170 degrees Fahrenheit for about 15 minuets to prevent any contamination of bacteria and wild yeast.

The IBU's look very high but you have to keep in mind that the recipe builder sees this as a 2.5 gallon batch and does not take into consideration the total volume of 5.5 once the cider has been added so best estimate on the bittering is slightly more then half the total so lest go with about 28 IBU's
