Malted Pumpkin Pie Cider

Today, I made a new cider. The pumpkin cider (6-006) turned out well but I want more of a pumpkin pie flavor. I want something that is sweeter, creamier, and tastier than just a pumpkin cider. I am not sure how to accomplish this other than by adding malt. This is the first time I have played with malt so I hope I used it correctly. Also, I used pumpkin pie mix rather than just pumpkin to incorporate more spices and sweetness. Hopefully this will work.

Here is the recipe:


7-007

  • 4.5 gal Mott's Apple Juice
  • 64 oz water
  • 3 lbs Golden Light DME
  • 1 can (30 oz) Libby's Easy Pumpkin Pie Mix
  • 2 lbs C&H Dark Brown Sugar
  • 2 tbs pectin enzyme
  • 1 pkt Lavlin K1V-1116
  • OG: 1.082
  • Should make 5 gal in secondary

Wassail!
