I'd really like to try this, but I HATE it when an OP drops a recipe and ghosts. Has anyone actually tried this? I see a lot of questions, but no answers from guys (or gals) saying I did this when I made it and it was awesome.

Christmas is coming and this is a great Holidaze drink. Bump!

So, I've got this kegged and carbed. I hopped with saaz, because that's what I had. This is pretty damn good. If I had to do it over, I'd use the pound of torrified wheat I screwed up and put in here. And I'd hop it with Australian Summer hops. Yes, there's an inch of head you have to...

How long/ what size is the tubing your using?

And it's delicious!

The best deal I've ever found was Costco. Their brand, Kirkland?, was 2 gallons for 8.99. 100% organic juice. Hard cider turned out great.

1oz of torifed wheat in your boil will ad body and head retention. You'll never taste it.

You're over thinking this. You live in FL? You go to the beach? You have a cooler? If you have a cooler big enough for a one gallon jug, there's an easy solution. Two days before "brewing" take two one gallon milk jugs of water and put them in your freezer. Day of, throw one in your...

So I added 6 more liters to this, froze, drained, got distracted, drained too much, refroze what I had drained, drained again. Holy crap this is some good stuff! The cinnamon flavor is definitely there but no oil slick and frankly it just the right amount. Out of 8 liters, I ended up with just...

That seems like a reasonable idea. The temps look fine as long as you didn't get a cider with preservatives by accident. I put some yeast nutrient in my starter, this last batch seemed like it was fermenting before I got the air lock on. Take a gravity reading after 48 hours before...

I don't know. 20psi seems low for soda. I keep mine at 37F and 30psi. I do the quick carb 45psi and shake like crazy, then back it down shake some more, and do this in 5psi increments down to 30. Then let it sit for a day and I'm good to go.

The crystal 60L caramel from LD Carlson. Not sure how it was roasted...

Sooooo...if I lost my mind in my LHBS and grabbed 1lb of torrified wheat and ground it in with a pound of Crystal...what might the outcome be?

For sure!

I used to use this brew method and do two gallons at a time: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/perfect-iced-coffee/ Then pour in a corny at 10 psi on nitro...and I got basically what you're talking about here. It's just cold coffee that lasts a little longer. Kind of fun but whoopity do. But...

Sorry, Dave's Dreaded calculator puts it at 9.2%. And I'm not doing the full gallon...about half. I've never done applejack so I figured I'd try it. I'm not expecting more than a sip or two. I'm interested to see how much cinnamon flavor there is.

Racked it into a bottling bucket. Going to let it settle this afternoon and put it into two 1L swing tops. Might applejack the rest. Someone check my thinking. The oil won't freeze and with the higher alcohol % it should emulsify, or at least infuse, into the applejack. Boom! Cinnamon applejack.

I had a gallon of hard cider I was playing with and grabbed organic cinnamon oil (for baking) instead of organic cinnamon extract (alcohol based). They're the same damn bottle except one says "alcohol free". Saw the "alcohol" and didn't look close enough. Well, long story...long... I didn't...

Did you keg after aging?

You can use this calculator and associated chart to figure it out even though it's for beer. You need to know you SG though and what your volumes CO2 you're supposed to be at. http://www.mikesoltys.com/2012/09/17/determining-proper-hose-length-for-your-kegerator/
