Does anyone have any experience adding apple juice to beer in order to impart a very mild apple taste?
I am wonder about how much too add to a 5 gallon batch and if there are any pitfalls to watch out for?

I'm not sure if the brew got infected (I don't think so because it didn't have any of the "normal" infection off-flavors) but the thing turned out really tart. It went from 1.050 to 1.010 and I think the wlp001 fermented out any sugars associated with the apples and left just that tart, apple kick.
If you get better results let me know, I was looking for some apple character and I'd love to know it worked for someone.
