Great fall/autumn flavors to add?

[Bh750]

I'm still new here but have the basics down to making some easy simply cider. My favorite is something with a fall or autumn spice. I have a small bottle of apple extract that I add on occasion to make my batch more apply.

What kinds of flavors / spices have people added in the past that would be good for fall?

Cinnamon and / or nutmeg. Use whole spices, not powder.
Cloves are interesting too, but use sparingly - they're powerful little buggers.

In the past I have added sloes and blackberries.

I made a Cyser this summer with cloves for drinking in the fall months , tasted good with a stole a sip while bottling , used like 4 cloves per 1 gallon bottle

Been meaning to post an update here. I went out looking for the spices and in the spice section of the grocery store I found this! I really think it give a nice, fall-ish taste. And it great b/c you can add a couple drops, taste, add some more. Much easier than guessing at how many cloves to drop in and so forth. Its very concentrated so I used maybe 0.5 to 1.0 ML in a single gallon. Shake up and taste.

Did you add this to your secondary or just add then bottle?

So sorry not getting back to you on this. Super easy, I just add it after carbing and before bottling. In fact I have a feeling the flavor dissipates over time and this can be added back as needed.

I'm gonna be tossing a whole cinnamon stick in a couple of my gallon secondaries...
