So a couple months ago I decided to try for lower ABV. I don't know what I was thinking.
I have two 1gal batches, one Orange Blossom, one Avocado Blossom. Both started around 1.056 and finished at .992, about 8.5% ABV. As you can imagine they are both quite insipid, very dry, but bland. Both have been racked and the Avo got cleared with a dose of bentonite and sparkolloid.
I am trying to think of what to do with them that does not involve inverting the carboys over a toilet.
Capsomel Maybe? What if I were to put the two together and add cherry juice (concentrate?) to 1.05 (3gal total volume), toss in a couple Chipotle chilies and pitched some ec-1118?
thanks,
jeff
