Nothing fancy, just starting out and wanted to share....
For my new 1 gallon batch
1-gallon glass carboy
1 Packet Montrachet Red Star
1 tbsp yeast nutrient
1 1/3 cups brown sugar
3 frozen apple juice concentrates
6-7 containers water.
After only 5 days in primary, I saw practically no activity--- so tested it, and it was .998 from about 1.58 OG. Tasted like a very dry champagne. I just racked to secondary where I'm going to let it sit a while. But not before drinking the sample from the test flask (the fun part ). Got a little buzz from a coffee-mug-sized portion.
It's funny, I stopped my last batch at 1.01+ cause I liked it sweeter and it was just ok for the most part, pretty weak. But I got tired of drinking it. But damn if I'm not liking the dry stuff more.
I am going to be patient this time, and let it sit in secondary for a while.
So much fun! :rockin::rockin:
