4/14/24 (Day 1)
1 Gallon recipe
2 1/2 2 liters of Dr. Pepper (Just filled to the gallon mark)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 packet Lalvin 71B yeast
S.G. = 1.042
Mixed all ingredients and let degas. Pitched yeast dry.
4/15/24 (Day 2)
1 tsp Fermaid-O
5/1/24 (Day 18)
Racked into clean vessel. S.G. =.996 so it’s done. Stabilized with Sorbate / Metabisulphite. 1/4 tsp tannin. Will need some back sweetening before bottling. It’s thin but does taste like D.P. 6% ABV so not to bad.
5/14/24 (Day 30)
Bottling day!!! Labels created and printed. Back sweetened to 1.020 and bottled.
It’s thin and not very flavorful. I almost dumped it but Kendra said no. She’d drink it.
