Bottled this yesterday, around 2 months old. Its pretty good, going to age it probably till christmas now before drinking anymore, but I'm going to start another 5g batch soon. I have a few questions though. Am I okay using apple juice from concentrate, as long as it has no e numbers in? What...

Will it benefit from me waiting longer than 4 weeks?

In the primary since 10 sept, should I bottle age this or leave it in the primary to age? No airlock action now, I have both bottles, and the primary which I'm in no rush to get back. I tried some, and it was rather tasteless, although with an alcoholic aftertaste to it. Primary, secondary, or...

Firstly, is the equipment listed all that I'd need, or are there some things that are assumed I'd already have? Would I be able to brew in a 5gal bucket rather than a carboy? Would having a second bucket/carboy be a big help? When would I need to siphon it into a secondary bucket (would I need...
