Im rooting for the Funky cider blend as well if anyone else is interested! 153 to go!

Just stirring this thread back up and seeing if anyone is interest in this blend.... https://www.whitelabs.com/yeast-vault

This brand makes some good fruit purees that you can add to secondary. They have: Apricot Blackberry Blueberry Cherry Peach Raspberry You can also try dry-hopping. I was going to try dry-hopping a cider with more of a fruiter type hop like Amarilo or citra

I tried this brand of stevia the other day just by itself out of the packet, and it was terrible. Had like a chemical-type taste to it. Not sure if you would get a better result once added to the cider, but didnt seem worth the try.

4 years later do you remember how this ended up lol? Does dry hopping with 0.25oz for a 1 gal batch seem about right?

What is everyone's opinion of these 3 non-fermentable sweeteners that can be used for cider? What are some pros or cons of each, which do you prefer and why? 1. Xylitol 2. Lactose 3. Stevia
