I usually brew beer, but I wanted to experiment with cider. I'm doing a pretty basic recipe so I dont expect it to be amazing, but here is what I am using:
OG: 1.083
5 gal Motts Apple Juice
3 lb white sugar
1 lb brown sugar
1 lb honey
2.5 tsp DAP/Urea mix
1 packet Fermentis Safcider (I ordered champagne yeast but they sent the wrong thing)
Not a lot of activity after 12 hours, so I am thinking of building a small starter of US-05 and adding it in.
I expect it to be pretty boozy, but if it isn't good I can do other things with it that aren't HBT forum material.
Any thoughts on the recipe?
