A delicious triple apple blend with orange blossom honey. Crisp, fruity and naturally refreshing.
2 Gallon batch - 32 apples total
40% Gala Apples (13)
35 Honey Crisp Apples (11)
25% Fuji Apples (8)
Apples should yield 2.2 - 2.50 gallons of fresh pressed apple juice.
I used the Kuvings Juicer to get the apple juice.
12 oz Orange Blossom Honey
1 tsp Assam loose leaf Black Tea (for tannins).
Steep tea at 212 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes. Remove leaves immediately. Let cool completely than add to must. (us a small amount of Spring Water)
1 tsp Orange Zest in rumble jar
Remove after 4 days
1 packet Lalvin QA23
1/4 tsp Go Ferm
1/2 tsp Fermaid O
1/2 tsp Pectic Enzynme
Pasteurize (I use the Anova method) for 22 minutes at 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
