Tart cherry juice concentrate

[Newsman]

Hey, everyone! I'm always playing around with recipes. I always base the recipe on the one posted by Upstate Mike, but I got tired of the same old flavor, so I've been playing around.
I was just looking on the Costco website and they have 32 oz bottles of tart Montmorency Cherry juice concentrate. They say each bottle makes two gallons of cherry juice. I'm wondering how much you would add to some apple juice to create a cherry-flavored hard cider? I'm thinking one bottle to 5 gallons of cider should make a strong bitter cherry flavored hard cider.

Someone on HBT came up with a recipe for a B. Nektar Zombie Killer clone, and it uses Montmorency cherry juice. The recommended amount is perfect and balances with the apple flavor without overpowering it.

It's in here somewhere. There are revised recipes too.

I made 5 gals. of cherry cider for my daughters wedding this summer. I found 10 Tablespoons of concentrate to 5 gals of cider was just right for my tastes. I also did a cherry wheat beer that also used 10 Tablespoons of concentrate per 5 gals. Again a good balance of cherry, not overpowering.

Thanks. Sounds like a little bit will go a LOOOONG way!

One bottle of this stuff added to 5 gallons of cider is a delicious cherry cider:

It's a little pricey though but the end result is absolutely delicious
