Just trying to engage peeps! [emoji111][emoji111]

Just fired up a new batch...

5gals 100% Sam's AJ
6cans FAJC
S-04

OG 1.065

Update:

Let it ferment for 7days at 64-68F.

Tossed Speidel in fridge and cold crashed for 48hrs....32-36F

FG - 1.012 so ~7% ABV

Sample tasted fantastic...great sweetness..appley flavor...smooth on tongue...Yum! Ultra clear. Solid yeast cake / lees.

Racked back into 1gal containers and conditioning in fridge w cinnamon sticks, tart cherry & wild blueberry concentrates.

Might jack a small batch up with jalapenos....

...and have some LorAnn flavors to try too.

Cheers!

Just picked up a gallon of Motts to sprinkle some yeast on (Cotes?). Maybe add some maple syrup at bottling and hope for the best. Like many of us, waiting for the 773 to arrive. When it does I'll make a trip to the orchard for 5 gals of the good stuff.:yes:

Are you gonna stabilize or bottle carb.? If you’re not gonna stabilize be careful it doesn’t overcarb.
 
If I do add maple syrup, I'll use a pressure gauge and pasteurize. So far it's my favorite sweetener but that was with ale yeast. This wine yeast seems to be pretty decent without any additions! Will require much more experimentation.
