Hi All,
I have been reading up nearly every cider thread I can, too many I think because now my head is spinning and i have more questions than when I started.
My hope is to brew up a fast to ready time sweet to semi sweet sparkling cider.
I can really use some help with a recipe and instructions
I do have a batch of Brandons Graff in the primary because its a fast one but I would like to do a strait cider too.
I hope to have one drinkable for Christmas maybe even Thanksgiving.
So any one with a good 5 or 6 gal recipe that's sweet carbed and quick to drink?
I have 5 gals of pasturized cider
a gallon of motts
nothern brewer cider yeast
muntons gold ale yeast
honey, brown, cane and corn sugar
a few cans of AJ frozen concentrate
Apple flavoring, cinnamon sticks, campden, pectic enzyme, metabisulfate yeast energizer and nutriens etc.
So i have some stuff to throw together,don't need to use it all, just listing what i have on hand.
So how can I combine this to get the results I'm looking for?
My work hours would probably prevent me from doing a pasturized receipe,
I think I would end up with too much carb and not be able to pasturize.
I think fermenting dry and adding a non fermentable sugar might be a way to go for me. but I'm not sure what non fermentable sugar to use?
OK so thats my way to long post as you can see i sure can use a receipe and some guidance.
many thanks in advance to all
