I have 2 gallons of Apple juice and about 2lbs of honey. Ive done graff's in the past (AJ and malt). But would like to try out a cyser.
my recipe looks like this:
- 2 gal Motts Apple Juice
- 2 lbs Honey
- some raisins and/or boiling up some bread yeast for yeast nutrient
for yeasts, I have us-05 and t-58. Ive used both in my graffs and like both. the esters from the t-58 work well with apple juice. and s-05 is clean.
Will an ale yeast be ok for this? i thought i had some d-47 laying around somewhere too but cant seem to find it.
and do I just dump the honey right in and mix or heat it up with some water?
If heating with a few cups of water I was thinking to add 1/2 a cinnamon stick and maybe a crushed up clove.
