Which type is "best" to buy from the grocery for making hard cider? Does one produce a better hard cider?
Apple juice, apple cider, or it doesn't matter?

This is what I get:
This is the ingredients list:
Apple Juice, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C).
Other acceptable ingredients are filtered water and apple juice concentrate.
Don't get anything that has any kind of sorbate or sulphite in it.

I use cider simply because I have an orchard and make my own. I use it the day it is pressed, and all I add is k-meta to kill wild yeast. No sugar, no water, just apples.

In the fall winter when i can easily get cider i use that and then use regular Publix apple juice in the summer,either works fine but they do taste different.

Is one noticeably better than the other, or just different?
