Notes
Single infusion mash at 150F. Initial infusion used ~ 7 gallons. Drained off ~3 gallons of wort, added another 7 gallons of 170F for batch sparge. Started boil with just over 10 gallons of wort. Boiled ~60 minutes. At 1 min before end of boil, added 1 gallon pasteurized (no preservatives!) apple cider. OG of apple cider was ~ 1.055. ------------------------- Created starter for yeast with 1/2 gallon of 1.045 wort from pale DME. Fermented for ~30 hours in 1/2 gallon growler. Decanted down to last 1 inch of starter, swirled, and added 1/2 to each carboy (fermented in 2 6.5 gallon carboys). --------------------------------- Racked 10 gallons of 1.054 wort to 2 carboys and added starter. Agitated and started fermentation. --------------------------------- Both airlocks bubbling after ~ 3 hours. --------------------------------- Racked to secondary after 1 week, fermented for another 2 weeks --------------------------------- Kegged and carbonated after 2 weeks in secondary. Beer is very tasty, but can't taste the apple cider. Lighter mouthfeel, with a bit of dryness. Would brew again, but wish I got more apple flavor.
