Mullet Recipes?

Brewer Jon · Nov 23, 2015

When I was getting my apples scrutting to make this year's cider. I was talking to a "old boy" about my previous batches of cider I have made. And I was saying one sort of failed because it was "tarty flavour". He mentioned that I could add mullet (I think he said mullet, I am just calling it mullet to keep it consistant, it could be called something completely different). I asked what mullet was, and turns out it a spice mix. Now I have looked online for mullet recipes. (Even if that is the right thing) and not came back with much luck. Now I was wondering if any knowledgeable individual would know what I am talking about and if they know of a good recipe.

Or is it one of these trail by error things. When I have to use all the spices in the kitchen and make a mess or the kitchen and my cider.

Any help would be much appriciated :)

Millet?! I'm totally guessing by the way!

Advise sounds a bit fishy

Sorry

Doesn't mean Mulled by any chance as in mulled wine?

(think red darren might be closer but no harm in suggesting)

i think that suggestion was a red herring :lol:

My guess is he meant malic acid which is used to balance the flavour.

have a look at the acidity and ph section here;

My thoughts exactly - mulled cider is excellent

I think it would be millet as in bird food, it is a gluten free grain

And me.

You can probably just try a mixture of any spices you've got in the kitchen but don't overdo it or it might end up overpowering.
I made some Bragawd recently which is a mead with malt replacing half the honey, plus spices. I didn't have some of those in the recipe I was using, in fact I'd never heard of some of them so I just raided the kitchen - cinamon, ginger, cloves, pepper. Only used a couple of spoonfuls in a gallon and it's turned out very nice.

Maybe he said 'you want to mull it' as in make mulled cider out of it as suggested above.

Hey. Sorry about the late reply, I been busy with college work :-( Thinking about he probably said mulled. It was windy. I tried Ribena Winter Spice. Which depending on how much you put in, did take away the tarty taste a bit. So a sort of win.
