I was wondering I've tried almost all of the commerical ciders that I can find in my area of Ky and (hornsby,k cider,woodpecker,woodchuck,I'm not really sure they all kind of taste to dry to me I'm looking for something that's a little sweeter but I'm not sure if anything is made sweeter then woodchuck,has anyone had any luck finding sweet cider in any stores?

Thanks
 
Wow, I personally think woodchuck cider is cloyingly sweet.

I'm not sure you're going to find anything much sweeter than woodchuck, but I haven't really looked. I would suggest making some simple syrup and adding an ounce or two per glass to sweeten up to your desire.
 
Strongbow Cider (UK) is a sweet cider. And, Woodchuck isn't considered a "sweet cider" and I think it's about as dry as the others mentioned.

Strongbow is actually fairly dry compared to somthing like Honrsby or Woodchuck. I honestly don't know if there is anything out there sweeter than those.

I haven't drank Hornsby or Woodchuck in at least 15 years, but I remember them being fairly dry. I know that Strongbow is the only one of the three with an addition of unfermentable sugar lactose. You can read it here
 
J.K. Scrumpy's is a really good, organic hard cider. It's VERY apple-y and sweet. I don't know if you can find it where you are, but maybe one of your reliable shops can order it in for you.
