So first and foremost this was way to easy lol. So I had 4 Mr.Beer Kegs not being used so I decided to do a cider run in them. I ran 3 different brands of store bought juices ( Great Value/Walmart, Motts, Treetop ) and 1 Cider ( Treetop ). Each Keg got 2 gals juice/cider, 1/2 packet of Red Star Montrachet ( Dry wine yeast ), 3 cans of frozen juice concentrate and 1 pound raw cane suger to bump gravity from 1.045 to 1.080. The cider fermented very hard for the first 3-4 days and then slowed down, I took a gravity reading yesterday ( 5 days later ) it is now 1.005. So that is roughly a 9.5% abv, and believe it or not I tasted it today and it is pretty darn good and very strong. Here are some pics.
