Other Flavorings or Fermentables:
We used 5 gals of Wal-mart bought Apple Juice. We made sure it was 100% apples and no additives (rather hard to find in Wal-mart). When I do it again, I will spring for it and use preservative-free apple cider.
Also, added 2 oz. of cinnamon and 5 cloves (imperceptible, double if you want to taste them).
Brewers Notes:
Great as an after dinner drink. Allow to age for at least six months unless you like drinking gasoline.
