I am about to venture into my first cider experience and I was able to get a hold of a very nice 4 apple blend of cider made specifically to turn into hard cider. This cider was pressed as part of a special promotional event at an apple orchard and giving to a few people who signed up for a hard cider class, so I may never get to have a juice like this again. I have a couple of recipes I want to make and would like to create both of them with this blend. So here is the mighty question(s)...
Split the batch and only make 2.5 gallons of each?
Split the batch and top each one off to 5 gallons using good quality store bought juice
Just make one using all 5 gallons, and create the other using 5 gallons of good quality store bought juice
Anyone have experience like this? One of the recipes will be a variation of Edworts Apfelwien and the other a smaller cider.
Thanks
