4 gal apple cider
7 lbs clover honey
3lb caramel malt 60
1/2 cup water with 2 packs boiled bread yeast for nutes
Took 1 gal of cider and heated to 155°f and steeped the caramel malt for 30 minutes
Strained and added to the other cider and honey, mixed very well.
Rehydraded 2 packs of 71B in half must and half water for 15-20 minutes then added to fermenter and topped of to 4.75 gal.
After 1 week it was almost dry 1.015 so I fed it another 5lb clover honey and today I believe it done, I'll take a reading when I go to the other house for hydrometer but it has a nice sweetness, not too much tho!
I'll grab a couple 1 gal jugs so I can rack it and put in the fridge to crash it, then I'll consolidate it into a 3 gal carboy plus what ever else I need for long term storage.
