Notes: When sparging bring 5 gallons into the boil kettle and stop sparg. Boil the 5 gallons of wort for 15 minutes to get good carmelazation stiring often. Then finish the sparge.

Notes: Super easy hard cider, very drinkable and smooth body, slightly tart.

NOTES:
No boiling required.

For yeast, I use 1/2 packet of Lalvin 71b-1122, so I often do two gallons to use the whole packet. Try different yeasts and see what you like, if you want to.

Indian Summer Apple Cider contains Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) as a preservative, so it has no affect on yeast fermenting. Any other cider using ascorbic acid would have similar results. Don't use a cider with potassium sorbate, it will kill your yeast.

DIRECTIONS:
Pour the cider into your sanitized primary fermenter. I used 1 gallon glass jugs and did 2 gallons at the same time. Use a sanitized funnel if you're afraid of spilling.

Leave some room at the top of the jug, but you don't need to leave a lot of room, as there won't be a tremendous krausen like with beer.

Drop the raisins in, anywhere from 15-25 is fine.

Add 1/2 packet of Lalvin 71b-1122 yeast per gallon.

Seal with a sanitized airlock and wait for 2-3 weeks, or up to 6 weeks. When you get beyond 8 weeks, you might have more yeast characteristic come out in the cider.

As fermentation occurs, the airlock will bubble and the cider will be cloudy.

The hard cider is ready when the cider is nice and clear golden color, and the yeast has settled on the bottom of the fermenter.

Bottle like beer, with your preferred level of carbonation. I typically use 0.8oz per gallon of dextrose, or 1 carbonation tab per bottle if I'm feeling lazy.

This cider purposely has a low alcohol content. I find it quite drinkable and smooth, a bit tart like a granny smith apple. You can ratchet up the alcohol by adding brown sugar or more sugar if you like, but I prefer my cider to have a lower ABV. Removing the 3oz of cane sugar (table sugar) would reduce this to about 4% abv and also makes a very tasty and easy drinking hard cider.

Notes: Add the Cacoa nibs to the secondary and give it 2 weeks in the secondary

Bottled 1/2 then added Brewers Best Peanut butter flavoring to make a chocolate PB stout.

This is the best milk stout that I have ever tasted. Both the Chocolate and the Chocolate & Peanut Butter versions were loved by all that enjoy a good Porter/Stout. Could have improved the PB version with a little less Peanut Butter flavor (will only add 4 ounces/5 gallons in any future batches)

I had to take this one out of the rotation - only because I am lactose intolerant and even if I take a lactose digestive supplement i can't drink more than one without having issues.

Notes: This was originally taken from a Belgian Blonde Strong Ale recipe. As this is a THC infused beer I decided to go with a more estery yeast, a small amount of biscuit malt for body and color, and some coriander and additional IBU to cut the grassy flavor of the tincture, which makes it a bastardized tripel. The small batch and higher alcohol reflects this is a beer intended to be savored and aged.

Also, the starting gravity was 1.049 with a 5.5 gallon start. OG is accurate.

Added 0.5 oz of crushed coriander at 10 min along with the Saaz hops.

The Candi Sugar was added to the wort at 100 degrees.

The honey was added at 75 degrees, just prior to pitching the yeast.

Fermented at 65 degrees 2 days and raised to 68 degrees for 5 days. Transferred to secondary after one week. Gravity was 1.012 at transfer. Secondary for two weeks at 68 degrees. Beer began lightly carbonating which is why the priming sugar is fairly modest.

The THC tincture was made with decarboxylated trim leaves and very small buds soaked in rectified spirits (diluted to 60% abv - 120 proof). Tincture was warmed in a mason jar to 120 degrees for 2 hours, then stored 2 months, shaking once per week.

It was tested for a metered 1.8tsp (0.3oz) per 12 ounces to get a regular user pretty high. The THC tincture was added directly to the bottles with syringe (~8ml) for an additional 1.5% abv (12 oz/0.3oz= 40; 60abv/40=1.5).

One was bottled in a clear glass to observe the setting and final color. All other bottles were brown as we were unsure if the chlorophyll will impact the beer. The first image is the beer two hours after bottling and the remaining tincture, which was roughly 10ml per 12 oz.

We saved a six pack of base beer for aging. In hindsight, it would have been best to add the tincture to a tertiary fermentation for 1-2 weeks to allow for some of the green to settle out. the second picture is 10 days of settling.

Notes: ==Pumpkin:==
Bake pumpkin on a cookie sheet and bake until it browns on top a bit (20-30 minutes). Put in a steeping bag and add it to the boil @40min left.

==All Spices:==
After primary fermentation and a few days before bottling or kegging, make a small tea with the spices and dump them in.

==8/30/2013==
- Subs: WLP005 British Ale. 1 vial, no starter.
- BHE: 72%
- OG: 1.072 (hydro).
- I put the pumpkin in right at 60min. Also drizzled some maple syrup on top of the pumpkin b4 baking.
- 9/15/2013 (16 days) - FG: 1.027. Going to remove from 68º and let it sit at 70-72º to let the yeast clean & finish. Hydro tasting was good, but maybe a little too much hop bitterness? I also feel like it's a little esthery and I get some yeast fruitiness. Not bad, but noticeable. If it doesn't get to 1.024 I guess I learned my lesson about skipping starters. VERY excellent color and clarity! Next time I might dial back the C40 by 1/2 a lb (from 1.5lbs). Tossing extracted vanilla bean in.
- Result: Very very solid. Adjusting the mash temp from 158º to 154º to try and bring the sweetness down a tad and dry it out a bit. Also brought 1.5lbs of C40 down to 1.2lbs. If it's still too sweet next time, consider removing the vanilla bean.

===10/27/2013===

- OG: 1.070 (refracto) hmm. Brewhouse Efficiency calc said like 65% but this recipe at 71% says 1.07 OG which is what I got soooo wtf.
- First time doing batch sparging.
- Used a massive fine mesh bag for both the pumpkin and the hops. Not sure how this will effect the finished product. It was nice to not have to worry about all that pumpkin though!
- FG: 1.2
- Tasting notes: Batch #1 was WAY better than this batch. Notes for next time: WLP005 is the better yeast. Way less estery. As for the spices, 2 tsp is perfect. Just dump that tea straight in there (don't try to filter it.) For the pumpkin, muslin bags WIN. Don't try to do more complex filtering (nylon bag.)
---
===11/2/2014===
- My efficiency has been sucking, so I bumped up the two row 1lb (to 12lbs).
- Put the pumpkin in 2 mouslin bags. Great way to work with it. It decreases in size by about half towards end of the boil.
- Baked the pumpkin as usual and drizzled some maple syrup on the top.
- Pre-ferm yield: 5.5gal OG: 1.076 (hydro)
- Pitched 1 vial of 005 with no starter. :-(
- Tasting notes: ended up pretty thick, sweet, and a muddy orange color. Lowering the specialty grains to from 1.2lb C40, 1.5 Victory, 1.5 Wheat to 1lb each. Lowering the 60oz pumpkin to 30oz.
