making my first batch ever and i was wondering if someone with some experience could give me there 2 cents on how they think it will turn out. any guesses on alcohol content or anything else?
OK so the brew day is Sunday.
here's the plan of action.
make a yeast starter tonight with lalvin 71b-1122 (supposed to accentuate fruit flavors)
on Sunday bring 3 gallons of water to a boil, turn off heat, add 1lb. golden light dry malt extract. cool and add to carboy
then add 10lbs. wild flower honey and water as needed
puree 10lbs. of strawberries and add to car boy
add yeast nutrient and top off to 5 gallons aerate and add yeast.
let ferment for 2 weeks and add whole puree granny smith apple.
add an apple every week for 3 weeks. after 2 whole months in fermenter add lightly charred oak chips and top off water too 6 gallons if needed.
let fermentation complete
prime and bottle
let bottle condition for at least 2 months
