I came across some apple juice at a really cheap price, so I thought it would be a good chance to try my hand at making cider.
Just now looking around on the net though, I read that most store bought juices are likely to contain stabilizers which will ruin the fermenting process. The ingredients of the juice I have reads:
Pressed apple juice (99.9%), Vitamin (C)
and the nutritional content section lists the vitamin C level as 40mg/100ml.
A quick google didn't turn up any mention of vitamin C itself being a stabilizer - interestingly I saw more discussion of stabilizing the vitamin C itself so this ended up confusing me more.
I'm sure somebody here will know if this juice is worthwhile or not.... ?
