Beer: Apple Pie Beer (Update)


Last night Kyle and I transferred the Apple Pie Ale. Let me tell you, the young beer tasted delightful. Last year when we brewed it we used McCormick Cinnamon Sticks which, well are pretty much fake and pumped with artificial flavors of cinnamon. This year we used real cinnamon and Tahitian vanilla beans. The gravity was exactly where I wanted it. Well, I mean after the unfortunate event of not having enough grain to get to a OG of 1.080 and instead hit 1.055. The gravity was about 1.011 which puts the beer at a 5.78% ABV.

The equation used to get the ABV is simple:
ABV = (og – fg) * 131.25
