Just finished up my first batch of this and it's carbonated in the keg now, turned out great. Lovely cider to have on for the holidays...I think some of this will get a hot serve as that was my immediate thought upon tasting! I had to dig for a bit of info for a few things, so I'll just cover a few of the recipe modifications here for future reference.
I only used 3 cans of concentrate, that's more than enough sweetness for me and my tastes and it's still plenty sweet. I racked to secondary on top of 1.5tsp of potassium sorbate and 5 campden tablets to arrest fermentation...I'm kegging for Co2, so no need for the yeast to make it out alive. I didn't boil the caramel appler cider, just a slow and low simmer for about 30 minutes...no major gunk in the first pulls, but a little bit of cinnamon remained.
Other than that, exactly as prescribed and super tasty! Thanks OP for the recipe!
