Hi, my first batch of cider has been aging about 6 months. Last time I checked it had gone really dry, so I'd like to sweeten it before bottling. I'm planning on using the sulfite/sorbate method. My main question is -- what to use as a sweetener? I'm looking for something that won't add any extra flavors. I'm also planning on putting in some oak chips, should I do that before or at the same time as sweetening?
On a related note (already posted in the mead forum) -- I have a batch of mead I did at the same time, and it also came out pretty dry. Would the same or different sweetener be ideal for mead as well?
