But now I know where that apricot flavor in Magic Hat 9 comes from
- 5# Rye Malt
- 5# Red Wheat
- 5# Golden Promise
- 0.5 oz Simcoe, first wort
- Wyeast 3724
- OG 1.067
- FG 1.010
- 7.6% ABV
Started in June, finished in November... I kept reading that this yeast would stall but to just be patient...
It never actually stalled...just slowed incredibly to where it was dropping 1 gravity point a week or so.
First month or so of fermentation was between 80 and 82 F
But it's really nice. Has that full apricot nose and flavor that you get from Magic Hat...
When I do it again, I might change out the rye...that's the one oddity...rye...apricot...hmmm.
On the other hand, you can taste each of the flavors distinctly...apricot and rye...
Fun.
