The roots are not supposed to exactly mirror the tree. The logo is that of the "World Tree" or "Yggdrasil". It is the tree from which the Norse God Odin hung himself during his self-sacrifice. My Boxer pups name is Odin...so I wanted the name and logo to reflect the Norse background of my pup...

It just hit me today...I've been road blocked for too long...

Checked the gravity on this last night after 7 days at 66 degrees. Gravity read 1.010 on the nose. Not very much activity in the airlock anymore. So that should be my FG. SWMBO loved it. I gave her the honor of first sip. For me, it is still a bit green, but carbonated, it would be...

Uhmmmm...Yes. Check the FG of the Hornsby. That way you'll know what sweetness you like in your cider. Crash cool your Graff once you hit this FG. It's going to be an experiment...but.

Check the grav of a hornsby?

Any reason why you guys are so anxious to get the beer off the yeast cake and into a secondary? 9 days in the primary doesn't seem like enough time to let the yeast mellow everything out. Seems to me you're rushing things. Relax. :cross:

I plan on spicing mine when I move it to the keg, using the Thunderstruck Pumpkin Ale spicing technique which uses this recipe posted here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/pampered-chef-cinnamon-plus-recipe-139396/

Did you adjust the reading to factor in temp?

Graff is supposed to be sweeter than Apfelwein, which is why Brandon made it was it not? I wouldn't worry about it being not sweet enough.

Cascades imparts a citrus flavor for sure. Check here in the future to pick the kind of flavor you're looking for. http://www.angelfire.com/pa/beerandweather/hops.html

Happy Friday indeed!

The recipe calls for something around the 6% AA range. Cascades have a definitive taste and nose to them, that's for sure. LOL It shouldn't matter at all, I use pellets.

What kind of hops did you use? What were the AA%'s? The wort wasn't bitter in mine at all, of course, I used a low AA% Fuggle too. The goal of the recipe for me is a hard cider, not a beer.

One helluva heads up Cider, thank you kindly. I would have had that **** all over the inside of my keggerator. LMAO /salute

But what about the dextrose I had to use? What do you think that'll do? I ended up missing my OG anyways...hit 1.055-1.058 Recipe ended up going like this: .5 lb Caramunich 120L 1 oz Carapils 1 lb Amber DME .85 lb Extra Light DME .15 lb Dextrose .5 oz Fuggles at 4.7% AA 1 gallon water 4...

So I'm boiling away the wort, and as I was half way through, I realized I only had Extra light DME left over for this recipe. No big deal...then I only had .85 lb of the extra light DME. So I subbed the remaining .15 of a pound for dextrose. The rest of the recipe including the 1 lb Amber DME...
