I am thinking about doing a new spin on the apfelwein recipe. I'm going to combine a three gallon weizen recipe with two gallons of apple juice and maybe, just maybe, some apple juice concentrate for higher ABV and more body.
I'm following the KISS principle so as not to over complicate things. It seems to have worked for Edwort and his apfelwein recipe! Tell me what you think or if you have seen and/or tried something similar. Thanks!
1 lb Carapils grain
3lbs Wheat DME (75%)
.5 oz Tettnanger hops (60 min)
.5 oz Tettnanger hops (4 min)
Crushed Coriander 1 oz (10 min)
(I used brewpal on my iPhone to formulate this recipe. It's fantastic but I can't figure out how to get the right measurements for apple juice.)
After the I get the wort in the primary I'm going to add the 2 gallons of apple juice and possibly the concentrate, depending on OG. I'm very undecided about the yeast. I'm thinking either the trappist high gravity yeast or just sticking with weihenstephan weizen, or german wheat. Any thoughts or recommendations would be great. I've been making wine for about 4 years but I am fairly new to beer so let me know if I'm way off on this!
