My local cider mill is selling cider at $10/gal because of the bad harvest here in Michigan. The lady said I could stop in on the weekend and request some raw cider because they normally sell it with preservatives. I also found cider at walmart for $4.50/gal w/o preserves (and pasteurized) but its kinda looks pale as if its watered down.
My question is A) Is there any advantage/disadvantage using raw cider vs pasturized and B) is it worth spending $60 on 6 gal of fresh cider when I could either get some at walmart for less than half that or just do what I've done in the past and buy some juice for even cheaper?
I don't really mind spending the extra money but I want it to be worth it if I do. Thanks for all the help!!
