Made my first attempt at a spiced apple cider last night. Still no name for it, but I'll think of one later. Here's the recipe; 4 gal Allen's canned apple juice (16 cans @ 1.2 L) 500 g pure white clover honey (about 1 lbs) 400 g light brown sugar (little less than 1 lbs) 1 tsp allspice 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 1 gal water (give of take) 2 packets Lalvin EC-01118 yeast Boil 1 gal of water, disolving the honey and brown sugar. Be sure to skim off the protein scum from the honey that floats to the top with a spoon. Put the spices in a coffee filter and tie off with an elastic, place in 1 cup boiling water for about 10 to 15 minutes. Rehydrate yeast, Add everything to primary and mix in apple juice. Pitch yeast after taking temps and OG. Primary - plastic for 4 weeks Secondary - glass for 6 weeks Bottle condition - 3 weeks or more |
