Notes
Ingredients:
- 4 lbs table sugar
- 1 TB DAP Yeast Nutrient
- 1 TB Lemon Juice
- 4 packets 71-B yeast (old from 2018, so I used more than needed)
- Fruit flavoring (kegging)
"Brew" Day - 4/28/2020 - Heated 2 gallons of water & 1/2 crushed campden tablet to a boil. Moved kettle off heat and added 4lbs of table sugar & 1TB yeast nutrient. Returned to a boil and boiled for 5 minutes. Chilled in the sink in a water bath until temp was 85 degrees & added 1 TB lemon juice. Poured into a sanitized fermenter & added yeast. Left in the basement to ferment in the mid to upper 60's. Didn't take a gravity reading, but should be around 1.037 based on what Beersmith lists.
Kegged 5/12/2020 - FG = 1.000. Aroma had some fruity esters of pear & apple, but the flavor was pretty neutral and crisp without as much yeast character. I'm going to try champagne yeast on future batches to reduce the overall yeast profile. Added 1oz of each blueberry and raspberry extract before racking the seltzer on top, but after I took a sample when it was full, I decided to add another 1-1.5oz raspberry extract. Put in the kegerator to carb quickly for the weekend.
Sampled 5/14/2020 - The fruit flavor is not quite as strong as I would like, very subtle in the background, but the overall impression is there. The seltzer is super crisp with a dry finish, and only a slight amount of fruity esters, mainly in the nose, but some in the flavor as well. I have some Amoretti craft fruit puree that I'm going to play around with dosing per glass to get some different fruit profiles. Overall, I'm very happy with how this turned out!
