Hey there guys.
I'm new to this and I was wondering if anyone can help me out. Ok so in from New Zealand (think this is a international forum) and I have been given 3 apple cider brews to make. I did one and left it to ferment for 10-14 days then bottled it for secondary. Cracked open a bottle last night (good fizz) but there isn't very much apple taste. I did add a 15ml apple flavour to it to increase the flavour but I can't really taste the apple. I did open it about a week early. (4th week out of 5weeks). The extra apple flavour is the same stuff you use for spirits. I added it to the full brew (23L) mixed it gently mixed it then bottled it. Should I have left it longer like a day or what.
I have two more of the same brand to try but I don't want them to fail too. I would like another go at the apple flavour and one maybe a berry flavour. Help please
