I am new to homebrewing and have brewed a couple batches of hard cider using unpasteurized cider I can get at the farmers market for 8$ a gallon. I have been pleased with the results so far. They freeze it and sell it year round. The cider is really good on its own better than anything you can find at the grocery store.
I see most recipes on here just call for apple juice or store bought cider.
Is there a big difference in the final product between a quality fresh cider or store bought apple juice?
