Candied Pecan Hard Cider

[tdexterc]

There is way more than enough here to carbonate. I force carbed and prevented natural priming. If you bottle with the maple amount I used you will need to pasteurize the cider once carbonated.

So, I've made 2 batches of this recipe already and have always put the maple syrup and bourbon/vanilla tincture in the bottling bucket and racked the cider on top of it before bottling. Is this the way everyone else is doing it, or do you simply just pour it in? .... Annnd are you guys stirring it?

Thanks in advance!

I made this.
made the candied pecans, used imitiation vanilla (thought it was real extract I grabbed off the shelf) and a bottle of maple syrup for 2.5 gallons.
I fermented Aldi apple juice then added all the flavors to a secondary and let that sit a few weeks after adding sulfates to secondary.

I put a hop bag on the end of my siphon to catch the pecan bits when i kegged but it's super cloudy.

however it doesn't taste too bad.
betting it will taste better in a few more weeks and warm.

I really want to try this but is there enough sugar in the juice/concentrate for the yeast?
