Im curious to know exactly how much fruit extract to use? Im using an apricot flavoring. Im looking to mimic a magic hat #9 flavor. All I want is just a hint of fruit similar to #9. How many ozs. per 5 gal batch?

I ordered a clone from AHS recently.. just brewed it on Thursday. It came with 3 ounces of apricot extract. I've read good things about their clone, so I would guess it is pretty close to what should be used for 5 gallons.

I ordered Blueberry from them recently is the only reason I know that little write up exists. I had that same question before I went to buy that flavoring.

I ordered a clone from another place and also was told to use 3 ozs of the extract.

I've made several batches of #9; when I buy extract locally it comes in 4oz bottles.
I have made it using 3ozs, but now I just put all 4 in...

I don't like the extracts sold. I would rather make a f-pac like in winemaking and add to MY taste.
I recently made a Rasp/Wheat after racking to secondary I added 3#'s of frozed raspberries. Now was a grat tasting brew.
How much extract to add? Start at what above states then taste. If you feel you need more then add.
