[MKOB] apples in brewing

[John Edwards]

Just one opinion from my San Antonio friend,Curtis,
who did alot of fruit beers=

"I agree, pectin really affect beer haze. Another 
option is to get Apple oil from a company called
Lorann 
Oils (they have a website). I have used their Maple 
flavoring in a Maple Brown and it turned out nicely.
About 
5 tablespoons while bottling gives a nice maple 
flavor"
