I've have been busily reading posts on cider recipes for some time now, and I have come up with a possible go-er for my next batch.
The goal is to make a scrummy sweet cider that my partner, other girls, boys and gluten-free folk can have (yes, alas no malt, otherwise.....).
Its a variation on Olivers NO.35 BR Cider...
1 can BR cider
200gm Lactose
1kg Glucose/Dextrose
6 apples (of a sweet, scrummy, organic variety)
A couple of cinnamon sticks
Kit yeast
I thought I would up the Lactose and apple content to boost sweetness. The cinnamon is just a hint, and put in the stocking with the apples - the idea is to give it that hint of pungent warmness that cinnamon always gives (we use it cooking alongside salt and pepper, and in those minute amounts actually helps with aroma but not taste!)
I have also toyed with the idea of adding some honey for flavour - but just not sure how that will affect the chemistry...
So what do y'all think of that = I am open for criticisms and suggestions....
