I will probably make another 1-2 batches of #cider . I would like some other suggestions what to add.

I was thinking about some herbs and wood chips. Is there anything else I could try?

Get some hopps. I made a hopped cider a few years ago and it was fantastic.

I made a wit cider with coriander and orange peel that was excellent.

Elderflowers are also a nice add to cider, boil them briefly in a bit of the apple juice to help release the flavor.

I've been doing multiple ciders from concentrate over this year. My favourites have been ginger, lemon or lime, cinnamon and trying out dry hopping. Careful with the last, it adds lots of flavour.

Might try cinnamon and solid back sweeten for a fall cider.

Have you experimented with different yeast? I really like using wilder (more lacto) yeast strains made for belgians and saisons.
