  Good info. Does Ritter's do custom blends? Baumans is the local cider presser near me

• Posted in thread: Aquiring cider juice on 05-08-2013 at 01:48 PM
  I'm also in PA. In my area we have orchards and we have one outfit that presses juice. The
  juice that is pressed is (by my educated guess/taste) made from all the crap apples just like
  Zeiglers. If yo...

  Yeah take the advise of C-Ville Kevin and use agave for back-sweetening only. Tastes weird as a

  Try this yeast if you haven't already. I just went back to it after trying for the first time

  I called Baumans again and got some useful info. They will do a custom pressing with a minimum

  apples. I'm goo...

  OP - what did you mean by "grape cider" ?

  Baumans in Sassamansville, PA does all the pressing for the local orchards. They also sell

  Sounds good. What did you use for raspberry juice? 12% of straight, unsweetened raspberry juice
  seems like it might be too tart.

  A lot of people here will have you think that fresh juice will make all your dreams come true.
