Notes: Making the Must:
===============
Pour the apple concentrate into a sanitized 6 to 8 gallon fermentor. Add 2lbs of honey and pectin enzyme to the juice, stirring well.

Primary Finish Gravity:
===================
When fermentation is complete, make sure it is done fermenting by checking it with a hydrometer; it should have finished down to 1.000 or lower.

Secondary / Additives:
===================
Transfer to secondary. Now add the stabilizer pack and stir vigorously for 2 minutes, this will help release any sulfur dioxide created during fermentation. Continue to stir twice a day for 2 minutes each time for 3 days.

Finings:
=======
Add the Isinglass Finings and stir gently for 20 seconds and let sit for 3-7 days or until your cider has cleared out.

Back Sweetening:
===============
Once it has cleared, transfer off sediment into a bottling bucket. Nor stir 2lbs of honey into the cider making sure it has dissolved, it will all dissolve you just need to keep stirring until it has dissolved completely. Now add the cherry concentrate, apple flavoring pack and stir gently until incorporated.

Kegging:
=======
Recommend kegging this cherry cyser.

Notes: Clone of New Belgium Fat Tire. They're a fantastic brewery, and Fat Tire is an excellent crowd pleaser that's easy to drink and easy to like.

There's a lot of debate about their "house" strain of yeast, which they're unsurprisingly secretive about. I've seen suggestions for Wyeast 1792 (an old limited release that was supposedly Fat Tire's strain), WLP001/Wyeast 1056 American Ale (an obvious go-to), a mix of that and Chimay, Wyeast 1272 American Ale II, Nottingham (used in some kits), Wyeast 3655-PC Belgian Schelde Ale (sub WLP515), or Wyeast 1746-PC Pacman (sub Imperial A18 Joystick). I'm trying the Pacman as another homebrewer reported success with it. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/heavily-researched-fat-tire-clone-grain-bill-hop-schedule-what-yeast.167754/

From an interview with a former head brewer at New Belgium: "When trying to emulate Fat Tire Amber Ale, Bouckaert advises that you pay particular attention to the malt bill and the aging process. 'We have a malt character that asks for a lot of light-colored malts,' he says. 'Specialty, Munich and light caramel malts comprise up to 30 percent. For the signature toasted biscuit flavor of this brown-amber beer, add from 5 to 10 percent of malts with a nutty character.' For hops, he recommends shooting for 16 IBUs with a subtle late addition of aroma or dry hops. 'Don't use Cascade or other overpowering hops,' Bouckaert adds." That said, their website lists it as 22 IBUs.

Notes: I measured the FG of a Bud can - 1.005. It's basically carbonated water with a hint of flavor + alcohol.
If this is accurate it means that the OG is around 1.043 with an Attenuation of around 88%. This makes sense considering major brewers objective is to produce the maximum amount of beer at the lowest cost possible.

UPDATED - 2/9/21 - Coming soon

BREWED - 7/2/21

NOTE- American Lager Yeast unavailable, substituted Pilsen Lager Yeast.

Achieved the OG I was looking for but not the volume. I was shooting for 6.5 gal but only got 6, therefore, only 68% efficiency.

I rushed this one a bit. Cut the dough-in to only 10 minutes, and only performed one sparge. This could be the reason for the inefficiency.

Primary @ 50 degrees for 10 days, then a few days @ room temperature.

UPDATE - 7/17/21 - Racked into glass, SG - 1.009, ABV 5.1%, right where we wanted it. Will lager for 6-8 weeks @ 35-37 degrees.

UPDATE - 8/26 - kegged after about 10 days of dry hopping

Will make about 55 beers.

Price per 12 oz. serving - $0.49

ACTUAL RESULTS:

Total water - about 9.5 gallons, could have used 10
Pre-boil volume: 7.25 gals
Ending kettle volume: 6 gallons - looking for 6.5
Boil time: 90 min
Efficiency: 73%
OG: 1.048
FG: 1.008

Notes: Base kit from Great Fermentations, plus my modifications = honey malt and flaked maize. Targeted 6 gallons in fermenter (5 gallons into keg, 0.5 gallons in bottles, 0.5 gallons equipment loss)
---------------
Charisma Cream Ale base - From Great Fermentations:
Suggested Mash Temperature: Suggested Mash Temperature:
A lower mash temperature is recommended to create a light, easy drinking beer. We suggest a mash
temperature of 148° - 150°F.
Fermentation Schedule: Fermentation Schedule:
We recommend a primary fermentation of two weeks at 58° - 68°F. A secondary fermentation can be used to improve clarity and reduce sedimentation, if desired.

Notes: if your like me and love hops just add an ounce of Cascade to your keg, let it slow carbonate for a 3 or 4 days then take it out and enjoy a great beer!

Adjust your caramel 60L and shoot for an SRM of 8.

Notes: Wanted to try a locally grown, hop that was older and not surrounded by hype. These were grown by Gorst Valley, and they've stated they're the easiest to grow in Wisconsin.

Turned out pretty nice. Very orange-y, in a similar vein as Firestone Walker Pale Ale (but not as good, obviously).
