K brewing a version of this today.
8 oz 60l crystal
Steeped in 1 gal h2o
3 # amber dme (2/3 up front 1/3 late addition)
.5 oz mt rainier hops 6.1 alpha 30 mins (cheapest the lbhs had at $1.25/oz)
Pinch of Irish moss out of habit
4 gal Safeway apple juice
.5 oz mt rainier dry hop (to make up for extra dme and crappy juice)
Pectic enzyme (I'm not going to cool the wort so hopefully this prevents haze)
Nottingham yeast 1 pkg
I know it deviates from op's recipe but hopefully it still turns out good. When I make cider with this juice it winds up around 5% abv so I'm guessing it will end up around 7%. Don't have beer smith so I didn't crouch numbers, but my redneck instincts tell me that the extra malt and dry hop will leave it somewhat balanced still.
Cheers.
Ps thanks Brandon for giving me another excuse to make apple beverage. I'm getting antsy to try my spiced cyser 1 gal experiment batch thats about a month in primary and this provides a perfect distraction that will likely be drinkable way sooner.
