Brew #3: Brandon O's Graff


Here is where I got the idea:
Brandon O's Graff

Fermentation notes (recipe copied, and edited for 2.5 gal., below):
Pitched yeast (Muntons's Ale) on 3/3 (no OG taken)
3/8: 1.010
3/9: 1.009
3/12: 1.009

Tasting notes: sour.  Tasted like a young cider.  I steeped specialty grains at way too high of temp, so prob didn't get any conversion, thus no fermentables, from grain.  Used cheap apple juice, and original recipe said to use C120L if you use cheap stuff.  I transferred to secondary, but I don't know when or for how long.

.25 lbs of Crystal 60L.
1 oz of torrified wheat
2 Gallons of apple juice
5. gallon of water
1 lb. Amber DME

Steep the 60L and torrified wheat in 3 pints of water @ 155 degrees for 30 mins.
Sparge with 1 pint of 170 degree water and throw away grains.
Add DME and bring to a boil for 30 minutes.

Cool down the wort and pour wort and apple juice into your carboy and pitch yeast.

Ferment 2 weeks at 64-68 degrees.  Bottle prime with 1.8 oz of corn sugar (I used 1.4 oz of table sugar); 3 week bottling period for carbonating.
