It's too hot to make beer, but the kegerator is nearly empty. I had some US-05 on hand for a pale ale I hadn't gotten around to making, so I picked up some apple juice and honey on my next grocery run. I intended for this to be at least somewhat sweet, but the yeast chewed through nearly all of the sugars. The tartness in the apple juice comes through in this recipe. |
Would like at least some sweetness to remain; that's why I used an ale yeast instead of the usual wine or mead yeast (that, and ale yeast is what I had on hand). Next time, I'll add more honey and see if that does it. |

Pour two gallons of Tree Top 3 Apple Blend into a carboy. Add one pound of clover honey. Shake to mix. Add yeast, put on an airlock, and let ferment for a week. Crash the yeast out, rack into a keg, and put it on tap. |
