Batch 117: The Golden Rule (Perry Cyser)
This one's a mashup of three great things that go great together: pear juice; honeycrisp juice; and mesquite honey. The Lonely Island reference came naturally here.
Ingredients in this batch
- 1.5 lbs Trader Joe's Mostly Mesquite honey
- 32 oz Knudsen's organic pear juice
- Kroger honeycrisp apple juice to 1 gallon
- ⅓ pack Inland Island INIS-970 Fruit Sacch yeast
- 1 tsp yeast nutrient
Process
This one was a right pain to mix; should have heated the honey more. The must was crazy delicious, though: Somehow all three components really came through. Starting gravity was 1.090.
I wound up bottling this on 8/26 with a final gravity of 0.996 (dryyyy) and a calculated ABV of 11.8%.
