Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could lend me some thoughts and ideas.
A long time ago they used to make what they called Applejack whiskey and it consisted of Apples and Rye. I believe that was all that really went into it.
I wanted to create an Applejack beer. I was thinking of just using Apple Juice like I did for my Cyser that turned out really well instead of screwing with real apples plus I think it will be cheaper in the long run.
I was thinking about buying some Rye and then just mashing (x) amount of rye for probably 40-50 mins.
After the mash in I was going to bring this over to my boil kettle and boil it and add some brown sugar. Maybe boil it for like 20/30mins to dissolve the sugar.
I actually kind of wanted to play with this a bit as well and create an Applejack Cyser and possibly add some honey as well, but during secondary.
I also had a really fun idea of trying to make this in a Lager style. I thought it might come out cleaner and crisper this way.
Some questions I was wondering about:
How much rye do you think I should mash in with? I was thinking 3-5gallon batch.
If I went and made this a Lager what yeast would you recommend? I kind of wanted to try and make this a 10+% ABV beer.
Thanks, everyone!
