Apple Cider
Ingredients
- 4 gallons cider (raw unfiltered )
- 1/2 lbs carapils malt
- 1 lbs brown sugar
- 3 tsp Yeast nutrient
- 1 tsp Ground ginger
- 1 tsp Ground allspice
- 1 tsp Ground cloves
- 1 tsp ground nutmeg
- 3 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp Irish moss
- Doric ale yeast
- 3/4 cup Corn sugar (for bottling)
Put carapils malt in a hop bag and place into two gallons of the cider then bring up to 170 degrees F. After 5 minutes remove the grains and sparge with 1/2 gallon of cider. Make a starter with some of the must and set it aside adding the yeast when cool. Add the spices and nutrient and then pour into the primary. Do the same for the remaining cider but do not add spices, nutrient or malt. Add this to the primary. Leave to ferment out. When you are sure that fermentation has finished, add the corn sugar boiled in a little water then bottle. Addition of the sugar when bottling should cause further fermentation thus carbonating the cider.
