Good evening!
Long time brewer here, first time working on a cider. A few friends wanted to be patrons and commission a cider. After some deliberation everyone thought it would be a cool idea to do a Caramel Apple Cider using some toffee flavored and sweeter malts to achieve some of the flavoring. Recipe still in flux, please share info or any tips for our first time cider.
Recipe:
1/2 bushel Grannie smith apples
3lb crystal malt
1lb honey
3lb English crystal/Scottish crystal/caramel malt
.25lb barley or deep chocolate flavored malt
3gal organic apple juice -to top off the batch-
WLP720 Sweet Mead/Wine Yeast
Thoughts?
