This is what I will be making next. https://www.brewdemon.com/refills/compl ... ecipe.html

Has anyone ever added hops to a recipe like this before? I have a pound of Belma hops from Hops Direct.

The flavor profile given is " A very clean hop, with a very orange,
slight grapefruit, tropical pineapple, strawberry, and melon aroma"

I being a newbie brewer, am not sure what this could do to the recipe. But with those flavors listed, I'm thinking that it could lend something nice to this Cider recipe. (Note, when it comes to cooking, i view recipes as guidelines, willing to try something different, 90+ percent of the time it works, the other 10% well.....)

This is my first No Boil Kit I will be using. 3rd batch in a 2.5 month time frame.

It has certainly been done although I have not done it myself yet...

Try this BYO article though for more insight...

BYO Hopped Ciders

I'd say try it, and let us know how it works out. That's the beauty of home brewing!

There are plenty of examples of hopped ciders, so it's not out of place. You could also split the batch and only hop a gallon or two. I'm guessing you'll be dry hopping, since it's no boil, right?
