So I've got a bunch of Montrachet wine yeast and some amber malt extract lying around, add that to a 1 gallon jug of apple juice and I'm thinking of trying something potentially crazy.
Haven't dialed in the amounts yet, but the basic idea would be to do a concentrated boil with the malt extract, no bittering hops, then doing 15 min and flameout additions of something fruity like Galaxy, Nelson, or Citra, and topping off with apple juice in the fermenter and pitching the wine yeast.
Then later racking to a secondary and aging at least a month and dry hopping just before bottling.
Is this an idea worth pursuing or is this going to be terrible?
