This year I got hold on some apples so I will make 30l of clear cider and 20l for some "experiment". I already tried oak chips (simulates aging in wood barrel), hops and some spices. This year I was thinking about some herbs. The use is basically as dry hopping in beer.

Is there something I should consider, something you tried and turned out well or was undrinkable?

Oh yes, quince is also a good ingredient for apple cider. Unfortunately not easy to get these days. If you can get your hands on some, they also can be made into excellent jam.

    I will have to plant some in the garden... It is just such a good ingredient in the cider and I can't find it anywhere (and you just don't need to add much of it).
