I have been making cider for about a year now and have made 5 batches using apple juice and dry yeast without any problems. It always turned out fantastic! The last batch that i made with juice I back sweetened with 1 gal of juice and kegged for newyears was the hit of the party!
The last 2 batches of cider I have made from frozen concentrate and they both spoiled. After the first 2 weeks the cider would clear in the carboy, after that it would get cloudy. When I was transfering it to the keg I tryed a glass and it turned out horrible!
Anyone else had bad luck with frozen juice?
The only other thing i have changed is adding yeast neutriant to speed up the fermentation. I do not boil the water that i am using in the cider, that may be a problem, but i do not boil the top off water in my beer and it has always turned out fine.
My cousin made his first batch of cider from frozen concentrate and his tastes a little spoiled, not as bad. He used the same process as i did but used city water vs my well water.
