hard cider flavoring
I am getting ready to bottle 2 gallons of hard cider. I am going to use some LuAnn flavoring to make green apple and watermelon flavor and I was wondering if anyone else has tried this and how much flavor I need per gallon? I thought I would start at a tablespoon or so....

Re: hard cider flavoring
I have with beer, and let me say "STOP!".
There is no reason to flavor the beer YET.
I got about 10 LuAnn flavors (the small bottles) and their eye droppers and I add a drop or two TO THE GLASS before pouring the wheat beer. That way you can flavor to taste and not do an entire batch. If you do this, make sure you do NOT store the dropper in the bottle as the flavor fumes will eat away the rubber over time.
