I have 4 gallons of a fermenting beer going right now. I'd like to top it off with a gallon of cider to make 5 gallons of apple flavored ale. The only cider I can find has "less than 0.1% potassium sorbate for freshness. One gallon of that in 4 gallons of beer.... Do you guys think that is...

Thoughts on brewing a 4 gallon batch of beer, letting it ferment, then at the end of primary adding a gallon of apple cider? I would let the cider ferment out as well. Was thinking of mashing the beer high, like 158F to go for a malty brew. Then, if the cider drys it out, I won't end up...

So I have been thinking about this for a while... Maybe it's constantly seeing Dogfish Head to "test batches in the Rehoboth brewpub" on Brew Masters... Maybe it was Appalachian Brewing Co. doing one offs in Camp Hill and Gettysburg while the main production was in Harrisburg when I worked...
