I am looking toads some caramel malt to my cider to get a slight caramel apple flavor?
Suggestions?
Also would like some yeast suggestions. Thanks.
 
I think you should look in the recipe section, and look at Brandon O's Graff recipe. I know it's a long thread, but I tried the caramel apple recipe and wasn't impressed. It was drinkable, but not what I was looking for.
 
Caramel Apple Cider

5 gal unpasteurized apple cider, no preservatives
1.5 gal H2O
1.0 lb crystal 120L
4 cups dextrose (1.5 lb I believe)
5 campden tablets
1 tube White Labs english cider yeast
irish moss
yeast nutrient

-Sanitize carboy, funnel, etc.
-Pour cider into carboy
-Add campden tablets, seal and leave for 24 hours
-Steep crystal malt in 1.5 gal (to compensate for boil off)
-Bring to boil, add irish moss and yeast nutrient
-Boil 20 minutes then cool
-Add wort and dextrose to carboy
-Pitch yeast
-Mix well/aerate
-Seal carboy
 
I was interested in something like this as well. Has anyone tried adding caramel extract at the end? I've read of people adding extracts to beer.
