This weekend is going to be a busy one.
I have to
The cyser and cider are going to be a little interesting.
I picked up two gallons of unfiltered, pasteurized apple juice (two types, plain apple juice and Gravenstein apple juice) and 10 pounds of honey.
To make the cider I am using 80 oz. of juice (two 1-gallon batches, one of each type of juice), 40 oz. (2.5 lbs) of orange blossom honey and the apple pie spices.
To make the cyser I am using 80 oz. of orange blossom honey, 20 oz. each of the two juices, apple pie spices and vanilla extract.
This is my first attempt at any cider and my first try at cyser.
By my calculations, I should have about 56 oz. of apple juice left over. Anybody got any ideas what to do with it? I can't drink a lot of apple juice as it goes through me like water through a garden hose (fermented juice doesn't bother me). Any idea how long it would keep? I assume that I would have to sanitize any container that I transfer the remaining 56 oz. to (if I was saving it for later), correct?
I have to
- rack my Blue Moon clone to secondary
- rack my Vanilla Cinnamon Mead to secondary
- brew an Imperial India Pale Ale (my first)
- brew (?) my Apple Pie a la Mode Cyser
- brew (?) two different gallons of cider (spiced with apple pie spice)
