I've never made cider before. Plenty of beer, but no cider. I'd like to start.
Today, we went to a peach orchard to get some peaches, and they had peach cider. I tried a small bottle, and it was very tasty, and I thought it'd make good alcoholic cider. Though it's made fresh at the orchard, it does have a few additives. Ingredients are:
Peach juice, sugar, natural peach flavoring, citric acid, and erythorbic acid to promote color retention.
So, if I got a gallon of this stuff and added some dextrose and cider yeast, would it make good peach cider? Or are those acid additives gonna hurt it? And is there anything else I need to know about making cider? The closest I've gotten so far is EdWort's Apfelwein.
