    One recipe I saw called for a pint per gallon, so that's what I went with. I used three "very dark" pints and the other two were "amber rich" I believe. A majority of the sweet that came through was appley, but I think I can detect a hint of maple to. That could be because I know it's in there also, I don't know. Most of what I have made the last couple years came out quite dry, which I am fine with, so I was surprised this ended up kind of sweet.

    Anyone who's interested in making cider, I'd highly recommend this book: https://www.amazon.com/Art-Cidermaki...keywords=cider I was friends with the guy who wrote the book back in the day, and it's really excellent.

    mudr, I think that is closer to 4 beers as you have to set the beers down to the same level of the syrup!!

    Such a good beer. That is my go-to most of the year. Genny bock during jan-march. Then Sierra Nevada torpedo or another big ipa when it is really hot.
