This just went into primary today:
5 gal unpasteurized apple cider, no preservatives
1.5 gal H2O
.5 lb crystal 60
4 cups dextrose (1.5 lb I believe)
5 campden tablets
1 tube White Labs english cider yeast
irish moss
yeast nutrient
-Sanitize carboy, funnel, etc.
-Pour cider into carboy
-Add campden tablets, seal and leave for 24 hours
-Steep crystal malt in 1.5 gal (to compensate for boil off)
-Bring to boil, add irish moss and yeast nutrient
-Boil 20 minutes then cool
-Add wort and dextrose to carboy
-Pitch yeast
-Mix well/aerate
-Seal carboy
My OG was 1.053. I was hoping for a little higher, but no big deal. Anybody have any guesses what the FG will be?
I'll keep you updated with results...
