The short answer: sour apples. (like crabapples)What would i want for a crisp finishing cider?
Hmm? I've never heard of dosing juices with minerals such as gypsum. As mentioned, tannins and acidity are typically the components used to alter the taste and mouthfeel in ciders and wines. But its not a crazy notion. The good thing is that you should be able to get an idea if it is a good addition or not by adding a little bit of mineral to the glass and tasting. Just remember that we might be adding several grams of a mineral to a 5 gal batch of beer and you need to proportion that addition down to the glass volume. I guarantee that if you overdose with any typical brewing salts, it will taste bad.
