Looking to get some feedback on the merits of blending different store-bought juices to add a touch of complexity to my hard cider. I picked up some Mott's (with and without "pulp") and some Murray's unfiltered juice, and was planning to ferment about 4 gallons of a blend of these (with pectic enzyme, yeast nutrient and sugar added to reach an OG of about 1.060 to 1.065) with the White Labs English Cider yeast, before backsweetening (if necessary) with more juice.
Does blending these types of juices make a perceivable difference, or are they too similar? Does the pulp in the unfiltered juice contribute tannins that the filtered juice does not?
