CiderBomb! How far will it go?

    It has begun! I'm gonna step feed this cider until it quits.

    To begin I'm starting small so it can grow as needed. It's 2.5G in a 3G better bottle now. It will probably end up in a 5 or 6 Gallon BB before its all said and done.

    2 gallons of 100% apple juice
    4 12oz cans of frozen apple juice concentrate
    3 tsp Fermax yeast nutrient
    1 sachet Nottingham yeast

    The juice was 12 brix.
    1 can would raise a 1/2 gallon of juice by 4 brix to 16 brix. So 4 half gallons and 4 cans equals a 16 brix start. That's 1.064 SG.

    I have 4 more cans in the freezer but anticipate buying more. I'll do the math as I go.

    Neat. This is interesting. It also reminds me I don't have any cider going. Fail.

    So what's the plan, just add concentrate every couple days till it stalls?

    Anything under 15% ABV will be a failure. I'd like to see close to 20%

    I've frozen a cider up to around 20%. It was hot, but not bad. I'm hoping for something better by getting it from the ferment.

    Starting low. I will increase as my zen tells me to.

    Notty is said to go 11-13% under "normal" conditions but can go to 18%. I'm gonna try to push that.

    adding nutrients/aerating any with the concentrate additions?

    I think I will add either nutrient or energizer with the first addition. Some precursory reading on mead making last night suggests only 3 steps and only adding nutrients with the first.

    I was planning on adding enough concentrate to bring it back around 1.060 each time. If I'm only adding 3 times I'm gonna have to let it fall pretty low each time. I don't want to risk it going still before getting more sugar in it. I may end up bucking the trend and add 1 can each afternoon instead of 4+ at a time, as long as the gravity is falling. That gives me some insurance against it quitting just after a huge sugar dump. I don't think I want this completely dry, but I want to be able to taste it at the end to decide how much sugar to add back in.

    keep some ec-1118 on hand in case it stalls permanently.
    i made a 20% cyser with with this method. it was 5 gallons of apple juice and 17 pounds of honey or something like that. i mixed it all up at the begninning though and then used staggered nutrient additions to keep it cranking. it's 2.5 years old now and still not drinkable, but i expected 5 years of age before it tasted good.

    Good to know. I've read good stuff about 1118, but on my rushed lunch hour purchase I didn't grab any. Will it restart a fermentation that has stopped or just keep one going that has slowed down? When we get into dissolved O2/FAN/pH/ethanol/etc making scientific decisions are out. I just go with my gut.

    it will restart a fermentation for sure. you don't want to start with it necessarily because of the gross flavors it will throw it, but i have used it several times to restart fermens that have been completely stopped for months. little aeration and dump it in....boom. go with two packets for this kind of thing.

    I've been following this thread. It sort of sounds like you will be stressing this thing a bit and for a while. Like torture. Are you concerned about the outcome from stressed yeast. Yeast under stress, except some Brett do not perform at their best or produce desirable results.
  • jeepinjeepinjeepinjeepin
    Posts: 18,099
    I'm not terribly worried. Oddly the biggest concern seems to be adding too much nutrient too often and causing the yeast to overpopulate.

    too much nutrient will also cause a buildup of sulfur which is very bad.

    and benvarine, this method actually causes less stress than just dumping the yeast into something that is 1.14 sg because the beasties are happier in an enviroment that is less sugary than that. as they start pooping out all the alcohol, they get less happy so the nutrient perks them up and hopefully pulls them through.

    I've reached the limit of my 3 gallon BB. It currently is holding 2 gallons of juice and 120 oz of juice concentrate for a calculated OG of 1.089SG. It is down to 1.032SG for a very sweet near 8% ABV. To go to a 5 gallon BB I'll have to liberate my other larger minifridge. I didn't time these 2 projects well.

    I have one, so why not? It would probably be fine in the front bedroom, but I like the control of starting it out lower and being able to bring it up.

    FYI: Corrected OG should be 1.115 or similar now. I keep adding concentrate when it gets between 1.030-1.040SG. After the next 2 cans (1.134?) I'll start letting the gravity fall into the 20s or teens.

    If anybody is bored and wants to work some math for me...

    208g of sugar per 1/2 gallon of juice X 4
    168g of sugar per 12oz can concentrate X 22

    That's 4528g of sugar in 4gal(15L)

    Current gravity is 1.018 and falling slowly

    ABV???

    You you advanced users out there, there is an additional 128g of carbs not listed as "sugar". Sacch won't touch that I do not believe. If, and that is a big if, this thing doesn't reach a reasonable dryness, which Brett strain would you pitch?

    Will those 128g of carbs affect gravity the same as sugar? If so, that accounts for 7 or 8 points of gravity.

    I am now up to 24 twelve once cans of apple juice concentrate added to the 2 gallons of juice. This puts calculated OG just shy of 1.125, which will net a 15% ABV as long as it finishes at 1.015 or below. If my zen recognizes a healthy ferment I'll get another 4 cans and keep going.

    The juice is apple juice and apple juice concentrate. I can only assume those complex carbs are from the pulp powder in the bottom of the jug.

    Well, the fermentation was a bit sluggish this morning after a heaping helping of fermentables being added last night. I'm not gonna add any more nutrients this late in the game and I'm not gonna go the wine yeast route unless it stays above 1.020SG. I will be looking into a brett secondary if it is not pleasing in terms of sweetness.

    where do you estimate you are at with ABV?

    oh, and a tiny bit of aeration may wake up the sacc and allow it to power through to the finish.

    i'm not a fan of brett, so every time you mention it for this cider it makes my stomach turn a bit.

    I'm thinking I'm just past 15% with enough sugar left to get near 17%.

    that's a great question, one for which i don't have an analytical answer. but i had a beer that had stalled about 7 points high, i gave it a bit of aeration by giving it a sloppy transfer between carboys, the result was a spike in fermentation activity. the FG dropped to where i wanted it and i never detected any oxidation flavors.

    i would just give it a little bit of a splashy swirl, with air in the headspace to get some o2 into solution. dont go to crazy.

    of course, as with everything there is no guarantee. but it's worked for me a couple times.

    splash racking has saved many ciders. helps drive off sulfur too!

    with a wine like this, you can always just splash the hell out of it and then hit it with campden if you're worried.

    Its possible. How does it look/taste?

    If its still sweet tasting, then I would expect you can ferment it down.

    If you get a package of 1118 going in a small starter of 1.060+ juice you can pitch at high krausen, if that doenst kick fermentation back into gear, nothing will.

    you shouldn't need to do that. i had a 19% pure cyser (5 gallons apple juice and 15 pounds of honey) stall out and i had to pitch 2 packs, twice, but the second time it rocketed off.
    oddly, vintners pretty much never use starters, and will look at you really funny if you bring it up.
    won't hurt of course, but not necessary. if you only want to use one pack though, it would help.

    the higher temps will help the yeast keep from going dormant in the high booze bath. so pitch in the preferred range.

    since the primary fermentation is done you are at very little risk of off flavors from hot fermentation.

    If it takes off like a bat out of hell you can slowly drop temps. just dont go too fast or you risk another stall

    I am getting real curious about what this is going to taste like .....
    How long are you planning to age it?



    Until it tastes good. Somebody want to buy me a 5 gallon oak barrel?

    Its been like 12 years since I bought juice concentrate at a store, so I literally have no idea of even the ball park figure here. So I'll just assume that you could have bought a moderately price compact car from a dealership for the amount you spent on this hooch.

    Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.

    Do cider makers typically wait years to drink cider? Seems like a long time for anything. I'll stick to beer, I'm way too impatient.
