My grandmother passed away almost 2 months ago. I received a small box full of her old recipe's and one of them was for a cider. I have everything needed to make it and an empty 5g carboy. I'm not sure if it would be worth it and I cannot find anything similar to go by.
Old Fuzzy's Cider
4.5g apple juice
2 black tea bags
3 banana's
3/4-1c rolled oats
2lb brown sugar
yeast
cook sliced banana's and oats in cheesecloth bag @ 155f for 30min in 1 gallon of water. Remove from heat after 30min @155f and add tea and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved, throw away tea bags, oats, and banana's. Cool to room temp and pour into carboy. add apple juice until full, pitch yeast, bottle in 2-3 weeks with priming sugar.
No idea on what type of yeast. I was thinking of using s-04 since that is what I have on hand. I have light and darlk brown sugar.
What is the purpose of the oats? Body? Don't banana's add body?
Ideas would be great. I am thinking of brewing it just to see but...
