Make a delicious and tart cider with crabapples and an apple juice base! Tons of flavor while saving some of the work pressing enough apples for a full batch (or two)!
Basic recipe (for two carboys):
16L crabapple juice (can obviously play with this ratio)
18L apple juice
7L filtered water (to hit lower OG; reduce or eliminate water to raise OG)
Add extra crabapples to juice for extra tannins/flavor
Steep at 54.4C/130F for 2.5-3 hours.
1.036 OG
Add pectic enzyme (follow manufacturer's instructions) to cooled cider, allowing to work for several hours before pitching yeast.
Aerate.
Pitch favorite cider yeast
1.003 FG (so, this resulted in a 4.4% ABV cider)
Ferment at 69F, raising to 75F by end of fermentation.
