I will probably make another 1-2 batches of #cider . I would like some other suggestions what to add.
I was thinking about some herbs and wood chips. Is there anything else I could try?
Might try cinnamon and solid back sweeten for a fall cider.
Have you experimented with different yeast? I really like using wilder (more lacto) yeast strains made for belgians and saisons.
Yes, I even isolated some wild ones myself. I hope that I will return to it someday.
Best performing yeasts for me are for aromatic wines.
Get some hopps. I made a hopped cider a few years ago and it was fantastic.
I have one test batch with hops, if it will be good I will made full batch of it.
I made a wit cider with coriander and orange peel that was excellent.
Elderflowers are also a nice add to cider, boil them briefly in a bit of the apple juice to help release the flavor.
Do you also have lemmy and mastodon account with same name?
Also it is too late, maybe I will try it next year. For now 100+l of cider will last me and my friend for year at least. I will do about 30l of oked and 2 test batches with hops and spices are already in bottles.
Yeah, I’m on Mastodon as @[email protected]
Just to let you know, from your instance the comments aren’t federating to lemmy (at least to home instance of this community).
I’ve been doing multiple ciders from concentrate over this year. My favourites have been ginger, lemon or lime, cinnamon and trying out dry hopping. Careful with the last, it adds lots of flavour.
