Hi all,
I infused 3 gallons of cider (OG 1.059, SG .999) using Saf Cider Balanced with some coriander seeds, about 3/4 cup crushed I’d say.
A month later I took a sample and the coriander can definitely be tasted! Probably used a bit too much as it has a slightly bitter taste going down.
I’m trying to think of things I can add to help balance it out a little bit without making it too sweet. I was thinking some apple concentrate. If I were to add this, could it be used as a primer? Still debating if I want to make this cider sparkling. Or what about lemon peel/lemonade?
Or is it possible that if I rack the cider off the coriander and let it age it would mellow out?
Any thoughts? Has anyone tried infusing cider with coriander seeds before?
Thanks!
