My plan is to make a single gallon of Cyser.
Basic Recipe Plan:
1 gallon of Apple Juice
2 pounds of Clover Honey
1 pound of Buckwheat Honey
Acid Mix
Yeast Nutrients
Yeast Energizer
Lallemand D21 Yeast
My plan is to use cold processing, and mix the cider with the honey at room temperature. Put the honey/cider mix into the jar and shake vigorously. Take a OG reading of the must.
Rehydrate the yeast according to the instructions on the packet and pitch. Aerate the must during initial fermentation and add nutrients at the 1/3 and 2/3 sugar breaks. Once fermentation is complete, taste and balance acids to taste, and rack into secondary until clear.
I am looking for a dry cyser with a nice balance of apple and honey flavors. I am not planning on carbonating it at all.
I am posting this for recipe feedback, so let me know what you think. I have never made a Cyser before, and my last mead was around 7 years ago. So give me a hand here if there is anything I should consider.
