Notes: Trying to turn out a very quick cider:
- Rehydrate one packet of Lallemand Voss in GoFerm PE as per instructions
- Pitch into ~4.6 gal of Kirkland brand apple juice @90f. Add 10-11 drops Fermcap S to reduce krausen and hopefully prevent the mess that's pretty much guaranteed to happen given the inadequate headspace I'm providing - even given I'm starting with a blowoff tube. Ramp temperature up to 96f over the next few hours.
- Just after lag phase has ended mix 7.5g Fermaid O into some apple juice until thoroughly dissolved, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.7 gal total.
- Just before the 1.3 sugar break (1.040-1.034) mix 7.5g Fermaid O into some apple juice until thoroughly dissolved, and add with enough juice to top up to 4.8 gal total.
- After ~24 hours at FG, start cold crashing.
- Rack to serving keg after 24-48 hours at cold crash temperatures, and start force carbing.
- Taste and stabilize and backsweeten or add flavoring if necessary. I have a variety of tinctures I might add to make this more interesting, depending on how things turn out.
- Drink Young, hopefully within a week or so.
Nutrient schedule is roughly cribbed from https://www.meadmakr.com/batch-buildr/, using the Fermaid O only TONSA 2.0 schedule, with high nitrogen requirements and taking into account that the Voss Kviek is (hopefully) going to blitz through the must. |

Notes: This is a very simple cider with few additives to let the apple flavor shine through. With proper aging, it produces a dry, fruity cider.
- Add 1g/L Malic acid to lower pH by .1 as needed to reach 3.7 pH.
- Check pH and add potassium metabisulfite as needed for a partial kill (for more information see chart: www.cider.org.uk/sulphite.html).
- Stock solution SO2: dissolve 3 grams of potassium metabisulphite in 30 ml (also grams) of water which corresponds to 50 ppm of SO2 for a six gallon batch
- Wait 24 to 48 hours before adding pectic enzyme and pitching rehydrated yeast.
- Primary fermentation: 4-6 weeks @ 55°
- Add 5 crushed campden tablets dissolved in a bit of cider to carboy /keg before transferring for secondary/conditioning.
- Secondary: 8 weeks or until clear @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps)
- Keg condition: 6 months @ 60°- 65° (cellar temps) in pressurized keg

Notes: This was my first all grain batch and decided to go big or go home. I realized a few things before I started. My lauter was definitely not large enough so I bought a bigger one and improvised.
I missed temperature on the Mash, hit 160+ and had too much volume to add cold water so I just went with it. I mashed out at 172.
I plan on main fermenter at least 2-3 weeks if not a month to a month and a half. Secondary will go as long as I can stand.
I don't want to be too pushy with this batch with the hop schedule as big as it is, I mean 4 oz at boil start, and another 7 at 10 minutes. Its a beast. |

Notes: Add 6.5 gallons mash water at about 164 degrees, let cool to around 155 and cap tun for about 75 min. Sparge with 3.5 gallons at 168 degrees
This was in the primary for two weeks (could/should have done just one).
Added 2 oz of pure vanilla extract and one cup of American Oak Chips - Dark Toast at transfer to secondary.
Taste at kegging time and add more vanilla if need be (I added 1oz or so at this time).
325ml of Makers Mark at kegging time.
Changes I'd Make Next Time:
Turn it down to 1 lb Chocolate.
More Oak Chips, More Bourbon. Soak 2 cups of American Oak Chips - Dark Toast in 500ml of Makers Mark (Start this on brew day, add to secondary. |

Notes: Still aging this one at 8 weeks in secondary. Tried it yesterday and it is out of sight tasty. It is still a little hot with alcohol, but that should age away. This is a recipe to make a big batch of and store it away in some bottles and taste it over time.
Ended up kegging and this thing is wonderful. Nice creamy and stable head on it, plenty of boozy warmth too. Could use a touch more hops to help with balance, but overall one of my favorites that we have made. |
