Hello all,
I'm totally new to brewing and making cider, but I have some cool ideas floating around in my head that I'd like to try to make.
One of my favorite fall treats is a caramel apple from the local fall fair. I want to make a cider that will taste like this, but I have some questions.
I'm thinking of adding brown sugar and caramel (and maybe some nutmeg?) to my apple juice. Will the brown sugar and/or caramel ferment out? I have read that the caramel will not, but I'm not sure on the brown sugar. I want to have a cider that's "Hard and Fast", so it should be strong but very tasty.
Any and all suggestions/recipes would be great, as I'd like to start this soon, so it can age for 9 months!
