Fresh mango ratio for apple cider

[tarponteaser]

Greeting From Florida,

Decided to make a 2 gal batch of apple cider with some fresh mangoes added.

Can someone give me an idea of many lbs of cut up mango to add to 1.5 gallon of apple juice for a noticeable but not overpowering flavor?

Planned on adding .5 gal of water to the cut up or pureed fruit and boiling to avoid contamination, then use 1/2 pack of Safale US-05 for the 2 gal batch.

Any insight appreciated.

Mango cider's are the best -- slight earthy taste but also some fruity sweetness.

For 2 gallons I would (read, have) used 3-4 gallons of Mango in secondary fermenter. If you put it in the primary, all it will do is boost the SG.

Side note, freeze it first and let it thaw in the cider.
