Yield: 1 ServingsRecipe by luhu.jp
Ingredients:
5 gallon: Apple Juice, Gravenstein/Jonathan blend
6 cup: Maple Syrup,
2 1/3 tbsp: Whole Cloves,
1/2 tbsp: Whole nutmeg, grated
10: 4-inch cinnamon sticks,
3: Lemons, juice and zest
2: Inches ginger root, peeled and grated
1 package: Red Star Champagne Yeast,
Directions:
Simmer 3/4 gallon apple juice, spices and ginger (in spice bags),
syrup, and lemon juice and zest for 45 mins. Add simmered mix to
4--1/4 gallon. Put cider in carboy. Pitch yeast and top off with more
apple juice. Ferment for 34 days. Rack to secondary and top off with
more apple juice. Prime with 3/4 cup corn sugar and bottle. Age for
30 days and consume. Good sparkle, mildly yeasty (not careful enough
with my secondary rack- ing), complex flavor, some spice in the nose,
too much alcohol (my calcs say that the alcohol content is about 15%,
but it tastes much stronger). In general, Im pretty pleased; almost
everybody whos tried it has been pleased as well. Original Gravity:
1.100 Final Gravity: 0.998 Primary Ferment: 34 days Secondary
Ferment: 22 days
