Dear Cider gurus,
I have used this forum several times in the past to brew some pretty simple ciders, the most complicated being a pumpkin apple cider using champagne yeast.
However, I decided to undertake a challenge using a friend's "Pumpkin Pie Cider" recipe, except he can't find the instructions. I have the recipe and ordered the ingredients, so I was hoping some kind soul could tell me the best way to make this would be. I was thinking of boiling the ingredients (including dry malt extract) in water as the the wart and adding it to the cider. When do I add pectin? Do I need any yeast enzyme? Thank you.
Here is the recipe:
7-007
4.5 gal Mott's Apple Juice
64 oz water
3 lbs Golden Light DME
1 can (30 oz) Libby's Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix
2 lbs C&H Dark Brown Sugar
2 tbs pectin enzyme
1 pkt Lavlin K1V-1116
OG: 1.082
Should make 5 gal in secondary
