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 grow mugwort and alecost to use for making gruit. Mugwort gives a mild bitterness and has a sort of generic herbal flavor. Alecost (aka Costmary) has a really distinct aroma that’s difficult to describe, maybe floral, minty and cinnamon? but not quite. It can also be quite bitter (at least when chewing it) so I’ve been a little gun shy on using it for a long time in the boil, but at FO/whirlpool it’s quite nice.
My FIL often has efficiency issues with his AiO system and a friend of mine had similar issues to the point where he built himself a cooler mash tun to use with his. I don’t know what the issue is, but you can pretty easily solve it by purchasing an extra pound of base malt for a few bucks. At the homebrew scale this isn’t breaking the bank (like it would be a commercial brewery making 100s of bbls).
Wait, how do I get the $400 per month health insurance?
it was likely so humans could make booze
It had better be completely filled with Crab Rangoons or so help me…
Needs more whiskey
