Cheap, Fast, and Easy Raspberry Cider

How much water do I dissolve the lactose in, 16oz?

I would say that's sufficient. You really only need enough water to ensure it is fully dissolved so it mixes properly.

I bottled on SUnday and couldnt find frozen concentrated raspberry juice so I used white grape raspberry. I used 2 cans of the frozen concentrate and now I am unhappy with how it turned out. It has a very grape juice flavor now instead of berry. Next time I carb with honey or corn sugar. Oh well, live and learn.

I ended up using another apple concentrate with a bit of my raspberry extract. I'm hoping it turns out good. I couldn't find the apple raspberry anywhere.

Thanks for the great recipe. I just pitched a variation of this cider subbing the concentrates for 2 cans of cranberry and 1 can of apple concentrate. I also added 3 quarts of cranberry juice cocktail in addition to the 3 gallons of apple juice. I'll be sure to let you all know how it turns out.
