A Cider Success

[VaNewbieWRB]

So i've been on a serious belgian beer kick lately. Its all I want to drink. I started thinking "can I make a belgian cider?" Here it is. An apple cider with belgian candy sugar added, instead of table sugar, and 1/2 a cup of steeped coriander tea mixture. I fermented for 9 days with Nottingham Ale yeast. And bottle conditioned for 3 wks at 68•. Its very tasty with subtle sweetness and hints of coriander. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1438031333.348868.jpg

Interesting idea. Next time maybe use a Belgian yeast, for that yeast character?

Thanks. I will do that. I've been using the nottingham because it makes a sweeter cider which i prefer. But will def try a belgian yeast. Im toying with usung a saison yeast also

Try WLP565. It's a lower attenuation Saison yeast.
