Ideas for this year's cider

Good people,

Going into my fourth year of annual cider making. My plan is to make 3-5 different 1 gallon batches. Would like to try different ingredients, techniques or methods. Try and fail approach.

Some of my ideas are trying some back sweeting, oak chips, higher starting OG. Maybe apple wine.

Any recommendations on things to try?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Try adding peels, I'm going to make a rosé cider this year with the skins of a bunch of red delicious apples.

There's various recipes on here: Apple Peels: The Missing Ingredient of Hard Cider – PricklyCider.com https://share.google/OfA6WZUwr4EHipTrS
