Hi everyone,
Complete noob here with a long overdue ache to make my own home brewed drink.
Back when I was in the navy in 1984, a friend of mine and his wife were into the medieval fairs and such, and they had a recipe for an apple ale that they often made for friends at the outings. The name of the recipe was "Apple Moisse", and all I can remember about how it was made was that they used 3 types of apples, made it in 5 gallon buckets with the spiral airlocks, and they also used a spice sachet put together in a piece of cheesecloth that was allowed to steep in the mixture while it was in the buckets. At a certain time, they would siphon the mixture into bottles where it would carbonate. This stuff tasted great, and packed quite a sneaky wallop.
Has anyone here ever made homemade, apple based ales before, or heard of a recipe similar to this one?
