Found a apple beer.Has anybody made this?
This is for a ~5 gallon batch.
Grain Bill
8 lb 2-row Pale Malt
2 lb White Wheat
1.5 lb Crystal 60
.5 lb Roasted Barley
Hopping schedule
1 oz. East Kent Goldings 5.5% Alpha Acid for 60 mins.
.5 oz UK Northdown 6.5% Alpha Acid for 15 mins.
Also
1 tsp. Irish Moss for 15 mins.
1/2 Gala apple, sliced up, in the hopback
When Racking to Secondary
.5 Tbs Cinnamon
.5 Tbs Nutmeg
1 Gallon Organic Apple Cider
Notes
The specific gravity when the wort went into the primary was 1.060. When I racked it to the secondary (before adding the cider), it was 1.022. The specific gravity of the cider was 1.051. Im not sure why the fermentation stalled so early; but I suspect the low fermentation temperatures in my basement. I forgot to take a reading when I bottled, so I dont know how much alcohol the cider added, but I imagine it re-started the stalled fermentation, since it didnt finish too sweet.
Be sure you read through the whole recipe before starting (though you made it this far, so why am I mentioning it?). You will want to be sure that your secondary fermenter has enough room for the 1 Gallon of cider you will be adding.
