Key Limes for tannin and acid

[DeanRIowa]

As I read this cider forum, many people state that some ciders benefit from additional tannin and acid.

I was wondering if I could use key lime zest and juice to accomplish both tannin and acid? I always have key limes on hand and I really like their flavor.
If yes, how much per gallon?


I plan on doing this 2 gallon recipe to start:

• 1.75 gallons Walmart apple juice
• 4 - 12 oz frozen apple juice concentrate
• 1 tsp Yeast Nutrient

• Nottingham ale yeast

• 2 oz Brown Sugar- Bottling priming

Thank you,
Dean

Acid yes. Tannin probably not. But that's a guess on my part.
