The auto tune?

After some searching I think I found the answer to a great cider. I need to use corn sugar to boost ABV, but I need to stop at 1.058 as the recipe calls for. I will use apple juice concentrate to back sweeten and bring the apple flavor back! I believe that Tree Top sells an apple juice...

My first batch of this cider was amazing! The two gallons I made went way too fast. I put a new batch in the keg last week to carb and tried it yesterday. This batch is not very good at all. I read that some have to let the batch sit for 6+ months before being drinkable? In an effort to stay...
