Okay, so I have been brewing hard ciders for a few years now, and have become extremely comfortable with the general makings of it, it's now time to experiment. I want to spice things up a bit, like add some holiday flavor to the cider, like cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger. But unfortunately I can't find anything that gives a ratio of liquid to spices, to fine tune this I make about 3 gallons each brew. Now, should I steep the spices in the initial liquid or add them to the carboy? Need a little help here
