I know I'm a noob here, but don't worry, I've done my research, and I'm not going to ask any stupid questions that you've already answered (don't let that come back to bite me in the ass...).
I just started brewing five gallons of Apfelwein in my Ale Pail a couple minutes ago, and of course, it's my first batch (after a failure of a brew of flavourless hooch a while back).
Now, my question is about ingredients:
Has anyone tried using Wal-Mart brand "Great Value" Apple Juice to brew wine? I've seen people online say they've done it with the concentrate, but I picked up the already-mixed juice in a jug from the concentrate, and I'm curious if it'll actually work (I'm too impatient to just wait and see).
Also, while I'm here, I might as well throw in a quick question about sugar that I couldn't find online: I'm using your standard cane sugar (glucose), but I've seen that people recommend using "sucrose". Should I have used sucrose instead of glucose due to the lack of fructose?
Oh, here's the ingredients list for the Great Value Apple Juice:
Filtered Water, Apple Juice Concentrate, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).
