Or you could use it as a base for a pear or strawberry, or raspberry, or cherry, etc., cider.
I'm just here for the beer.

dropped it to 23 litres but increased the Og with aplejuice.

When i make an applejack from it it is absolutely awesom but as a normal cider i will not drink it. I suppose i could carefully put it into a clean FV then add juice to taste and leave in the Fv for a while in case there is any yeast left...... I like the cider sort of still though so....

DB,
I`d put in 2 bottles of Polish Raspberry Syrup to give you taste.
Or use any flavouring that you fancy!
If you want it still, don`t batch prime it when bottling.
