Hiyas all! I've been creeping on the site for a month now, just for gaining as much insight as possible, prior to starting my first batch. I went out and got all of my brewing supplies (hydrometer, thermometer, yeast, airlocks, etc) this morning and am now sitting here waiting on the last bit of water to evaporate out of my brewing vessels from the washing/sterilizing process, and decided to finally post.
I am planning on using 3 lbs of honey to 1 gallon of water, 1 tsp of yeast nutrient , and 1 whole "granny smith" apple per batch.
My yeast is Super High Gravity WLP 99
The room I plan on brewing in sits at a constant 70-75 F (22.8ish C)
Aside from step feeding, aeration, and patience, are there any other tips you all could throw at me?
Side note: I am aware of the aging time that such a high apv yeast requires.
