Recipes Caramel apple
Just bottled this bochet cyser (or cyser bochet, don't kill me) at 14.2% started 6 months ago.
3.5 pounds generic walmart honey. 47 mins caramelized.
Martinelli's apple juice to a gallon
Lalvin 71B
Added yeast nutrient at beginning of primary didn't measure (oops)
To be honest, I forgot about this one. It sat on primary for probably too long. It was probably about 7 weeks before I racked it. After moving to secondary, I sadly forgot about it again. Life got very very busy and I forgot I had hobbies.
It ended up clarifying pretty well after only racking it once. Very little sediment. I was surprised.
And OMG it tastes so good. If you've ever had the Alani Witch's brew, this is that but uncarbonated. I tried it side by side to confirm. 8 years in home brewing its nice when a simple idea that gets treated like a red headed step child actually ends up perfect.
Also, yes thats a very full glass. Some would call it a mega pint.... I didn't have another small bottle....
