Batch 305, Berry cider

 I made a cider along with making batch 304, and as usual, forgot to write anything down about it. This is the usual recipe:


11 cans frozen apple juice

1 gallon wort from batch 304

water to make 4 gallons


To get the 1 gallon of wort, after draining the mash tun into the boil kettle, I scoop out the grain into a double bucket, the inner bucket has holes drilled into the bottom so the wet grain drains into the outer bucket. This almost always gives me right at a gallon of wort that would otherwise be tossed into the trash. 


Update 15 June 2025, blended 3 lbs of frozen mixed berries with a gallon of water and added to the fermenter. Checking my notes, sometimes it's a 3 lb bag, sometimes 4 lbs, I don't think it really matters too much.


Update 18 June 2025, cold crash to35F.
