I have two of similar batches and ended up around 1.006. Based on your og and recipe, I would expect a little lower because I had a 2:1 ratio of apple juice to steeped grains. Yours is about 4:1 and the juice should ferment out drier.

Don't forget to report back what you get when it is done.

Sorry to ask probably a dumb question, but what exactly does the Irish Moss do? I have been making cider for awhile, but never used it before.

Thanks.

Dude, this sounds interesting. Keep us posted on what the crystal malt does for flavor (and maybe sweetness) in the finished cider!

I have to admit, I had to read this post a couple of times, so please excuse any stupid questions.

I understand airation, this is the first I have heard of it as part of the recipe. Great, I would assume this is some time measurement to volume reading for H20. But how do you come up with it?

First recipe that sounded good using steep grains.
I tend to use late runnings of high gravity beers as a base for strong mead / braggot. I never thought of using it for a cider. ( I have a limited imagination). So rack me up as tracking this.


Never seen this, but my LHBS does have some limits, I usually use WLP001, wine yeast, and whatever I feel like to play with.

?? FG: 1.008 ?? Or less. I would actually be surprised if it came over 1.002. The only thing that would keep it above 1.0 is the steeped crystals, and that will not much.

Thank you for sharing this, it does look very interesting.

I tried real hard not to laugh about this... But don't overthink the water addition
