Note: Because this cider is backsweetened with sugar it cannot be bottle carbonated. An overly spiced beer will have an unpleasant flavor balance but also less obvious side effects, such as a rough, drying mouthfeel from tannins extracted from spices or a slick, oily mouthfeel. Force carbonate to 2 volumes in a keg and serve, or bottle the still cider. Since we are stabilizing the cider anyway, it doesn't matter if the concentrate is preservative free. Stir in three cans of thawed apple juice concentrate. When fermentation is complete, rack off the yeast and add the potassium metabisulfite or crushed Campden tablets along with the 1 1/4 tsp of potassium sorbate. Ferment at 72*F for three weeks.ġ/4 tsp potassium metabisulfite or 5 Campden tablets Sixteen ounces in one gallon adds about 32 points of gravity, so you'd get 6 points in five gallons. You'll get an ABV boost, color, and some extra flavor from caramelized beet sugar, too. Top up to 5 gallons with bottled water and pitch the yeast. I recommend the D-45 or D-90 for a spiced ale. Here are a few of my apple cider based wines, four with fresh whole cranberries, two with the lightly pressed fermented skins from Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes, both of which were oaked. Serve this warm but not hot as you will evap all the alcohol. Its got a hell of a kick and is around 17abv I think. When the liquid is cool (about 30 minutes and a few changes of the water will chill it nicely) add to a sanitized fermenter along with the 1 tablespoon of yeast nutrient and the juice. each of craisins and raisins, 7 cinnamon sticks, 2 tsp.

Take the pot off the heat to cool in a water bath and add the nutmeg. I think the honey would be super tasty, probably around the 12 oz mark. The plain sugars will dry the beer out a bit though. What will happen if I use to much yeast 2.

Well I wanted to use a washed yeast for the first time also. Add the cinnamon sticks and boil for another 10 minutes. Whether it's honey, maple syrup, plain sugar, a juice concentrate of some sort or even a bit extra dme. Ok so I am going to try to make a spiced cider this weekend. I really like how it came out.Ĥ gallons of apple juice or cider without preservatives (I used Mott's apple juice)ġ gallon of bottled water + extra for top-offĥ cinnamon sticks (boiled for 10 minutes)ġ gram sweet gale (also known as bog myrtle) (boiled for 30 min)Įnglish ale yeast (WLP775, WLP002, Wyeast 1968, S-04, etc.)īoil the brown sugar in the gallon of water with the sweet gale for 20 minutes. My father in law loves apple pie (the drink made with Everclear) so I came up with this recipe to make something like that but naturally fermented. I wanted to make something I can take to my in-laws every year at Christmas when we visit.
