Post Keg/Fermentation Additions for More Cider Flavor?

[StillwaterHB]

5 gal basic cider recipe. I pitched 2 packets of Lavins champagne yeast. Fermentation as expected. Let it sit over a month. Moved to keg. Tastes a little yeasty. Dry (good) and winey (not as good). Less cider flavor than I hoped. Q: Can I add post keg additions - 2 apple juice concentrate to kick up the apple cider flavors?

Yes. Don't know about "yeasty", but you can add concentrate if you first stabilize the cider with k-meta and k-sorbate. It won't be dry any more though.

I have also used concentrated flavors like this one - https://www.naturesflavors.com/organic-flavor-concentrate/60823-apple-cider-flavor-concentrate-organic.html

Use only 1/4 tsp per gallon. Too much makes it taste like jolly rancher fake apple.

That flavouring looks great. Does it taste natural or chemical aftertaste?
Little expensive to shop to great white north 31.00...

I'm adding pasteurized apple cider 1 C at a time. Thanks Maylar!

It's not chemical at all. I've used it with batches that came out "weak" tasting with store bought apple juice. Amazingly concentrated, just 1/4 tsp per gallon is enough. Seems expensive, but that little bottle is enough for like 50 gallons lol.

Have you tried any other flavouring from them? 30.00 shipping I'd like to only order once!

I tried their organic cherry concentrate but only used it once. I put too much in (1/2 tsp in 1 gallon) and it was overpowering. Since then when I've wanted fruit flavor added to cider I have used the real thing.
