Hi all,
Just started my first batch of cider about a week ago with fresh pressed cider and honey from a local farm with nottingham yeast. Fermentation is slowly chugging along and I figure I'll rack to a secondary after about a month.
I'm interested in splitting the batch in two and adding a few cinnamon sticks (soaked in a little bit of vodka to sanitize and extract) or possibly any other recommended spices to half the batch to experiment with some flavors.
Has anyone experimented with adding spices to a cider and if so, how much did you use and how did it turn out?
