Are there any recipes for brewing a high ABV cider, such as 15%, but then back sweetening to bring it down to 5%? Maybe apple juice concentrate for primary and then back sweeten with apple juice?
I've played with meads and spices a few times, with little flavor success, so I think I want to stick with the apple side of flavor.
My current batch is 4 gallons of apple juice and 1 gallon of water. But I wonder if I could be more efficient with diluting instead and end up with more cider? Does diluting work that way or am I asking for more unwanted flavors?
