Now I think I&#8217;ve realized that I&#8217;ve made a whole different beast&#8230; For I tried a sip of it when I was racking it, just to see how it was coming along, and despite being extremely tasty, it made me a bit light headed.<\/p>\n<p>So with racking the cider into the secondary fermenter I added spices. To the five gallons of cider which were put to ferment with two cups of honey and one cup of grade &#8216;b&#8217; maple syrup I added the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&middot; 11g cinnamon sticks, broken<br \/>\n&middot; 3g nutmeg (one whole, crushed)<br \/>\n&middot; 4g whole cloves<br \/>\n&middot; 3g whole allspice<br \/>\n&middot; 11g dried orange peel<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hopefully those spices will polish off the cider and make it oh-so-wonderful. We&#8217;ll just have to see&#8230; Oh, I&#8217;ve also got two photos of the spices floating up into the neck of the carboy <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSCN1744-scaled.jpg\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/DSCN1745-scaled.jpg\">here<\/a>.
