I need some thoughts on a 1 gallon batch I just started,
1 gallon store bought apple cider
1/2 pound dark brown sugar
2 pounds table sugar
2 tbs ma's molasses
1tsp nutrient
1tsp energizer
10 apple spice tea bags
1tbs EC-1118
Heat apple cider till it starts to steam
add all 10 tea bags
Keep heat low and add all sugar till dissolved
Remove from heat and let cool with tea bags still in the must
Add molasses, nutrient, and energizer to carboy
Once must is cool remove tea bags and put into a measuring cup
Squeeze juice from tea bags into must and toss them
Add must to carboy, and shake
Pitch dry yeast and shake again once yeast has fallen.
Let me know what you think, I don't have the tools to take gravity readings but I kinda like it that way.
