I saw that a guy on here was trying something with grain, honey, and apple juice. It got me thinking about a partial grain apple drink. Here is what I have come up with:
Partial Mash Apple Cider
2 lbs. 2 Row Malt
2 lbs. 6 Row Malt
1 lb. White Wheat Malt
½ lb. Crystal 40 Malt
½ lb. Rye Malt
4 Gallons Apple Juice or enough to top up to 5.5 to 6 gallons
Dry Hop with one-ounce Saaz pellet hops
1 Packet Rehydrated Nottingham Yeast
I would only collect the first runnings of these grains after a 60 minute mash at lower temps to make it more fermentable, around 148-146. So I would think this would be a sweeter maltier beer with apple flavor and a little bit of the Saaz taste in the background with the dry hopping. Or a flavorful cider that keeps a good head on it. Anyone ever try something like this?
