Other sugars for cider/mead? - melkor - 01-31-2013
Has anyone experimented with other fermentable sugars (other than table sugar or I guess honey) for cider/wine recipes?
I am thinking of:
Dextrose, Glucose, or Lactose
Dry Malt Extract (or Liquid)
Agave Syrup
Maple Syrup
Brown Sugar (or sugar [saccharose] and molasses I think)
etc
etc
Any other interesting sources of sugar that you guys/gals have tried?
I am thinking of trying DME in a cider (I make beer so I have a cup or so to spare) to make it a little malty.

I have used dextrose. It ferments well but it makes the cider more "cidery" tasting. Not a bad thing, just different.
I recently made a guava "wine" and I was thinking of using DME next time I made it. If you use DME please post your experience.
