I have left cider on primary fermentation for a year and it was fine.

Northern California on the coast, so no freezing weather here.

60 gallons . So we are up to 537.

Not sure I have the room to freeze concrete the juice. Think I will try to run a small pressing this weekend, maybe make a batch I also like dry cider so I am going to try it in the primary.

Boiled cider is just apple just that has been reduced, usually about 8 to 1. I am thinking of adding boiled cider to apple juice and trying to ferment them together to raise the sugar content of my juice. Has anyone done this. FYI I own an apple orchard and i have plenty of juice to experiment...
