Hey Guys and Gals! An extract beer with honey and apple juice. Makes 5 gallons.

Ingredients

• 6 lb light malt extract
• 1 1/2 oz Hallertauer hops (flavoring)
• 1 lb honey
• 1/2 oz Hallertauer hops (aromatic)
• 1 quart apple juice, no preservatives
• 2 packages Nottingham ale yeast
• Priming: 1 1/4 cups dry malt extract or 3/4 cup priming sugar

Directions

1. Sanitize everything that touches the brew.
2. Bring 5 gallons of water to a boil. Add the extract and flavoring hops and boil 60 minutes.
3. At flameout, add the honey and aromatic hops.
4. Once the wort is cool to the touch, add the apple juice.
5. Transfer to the fermenter, top off with cold water, aerate and take a gravity reading.
6. At about 72 degrees, pitch the yeast. Leave the carboy a third empty.
7. Ferment 1 week, rack to a secondary and let it sit about 1 more week. You can dry hop with 1 oz of your choice here.
8. Boil the priming sugar in two pints of water for 5 minutes, pour into the bottling bucket, siphon the beer over it, bottle and cap.
9. Store at 75 degrees for at least the first week to carbonate.
