Recipe
1 gallon batch
10 oz corn sugar
8 oz light DME
Make hop tea by boiling 3 cups of water with 8g USA Meridian pellet Hops 5.6% AA (lemon, tropical, fruity, citrus)
Cost of 1 gallon: about $3
method:
Heat 1 gallon of water to about 180 F
Dissolve in DME and corn sugar
Add 8g Meridian hops and let steep
Let hop tea cool and add
Chill and add 8.25 g Fermfast Vodka Turbo Pure yeast, yeast nutrient and enzyme mixture (what I have on hand)
Target OG 1.044
Target FG 1.005
ABV 5.15%
In the keg 2 weeks, but still cloudy.
I'm not a fan of Seltzers, but this isn't bad.
Crisp, light, strong citrus/hop flavor, some bitterness but not a lot. About 1/2 to 3/4 of glass of this is about all I can drink at one time, then have to move on to something else. Glad I tried it but not sure if I'd re-brew exactly the same.
I'd say this is worth more experimentation with grain instead of extract and some different hops. Or keep the easy extract version and mess with the hops alone.
