So I have been doing a lot of reading the last couple days and decided on my recipe to try today. I plan on doing 2 gallons in two 1 gallon jugs.
4 - 64 ounce 100% apple juice
1/2 pound brown sugar
1/2 pound dextrose
US-04 ale yeast
2 - 1 gallon milk jugs with lids and airlocks
So I plan to pour 1 1/2 jug apple juice in each gallon jug. I will mix 1/4 pound of each sugar in the remaining 1/2 jugs of juice and shake/mix thoroughly. When mixed well I will add the 1/2 jugs to the 1 gallon jugs. I will pitch yeast and let sit for 3-7 days until SG gets around 1.03-1.02. I will then cold crash for 24-48 hours. I will then remove from fridge and rack to a secondary and wait to bottle u till temps come to 50-60 degrees. I will then bottle and leave at fermentation temp until my test pop bottle is firm to the squeeze. After all is said and done i will pasteurize either stove top or dishwasher haven't decided and refrigerate for at least a week before I try it. This will be my first shot so I am hoping my process works out. I will update when I get done pitching the yeast. And advice or suggestions welcome as this will be a learning curve!
