So i have the yeast and everything else i need, but i am having trouble picking the apple juice i want to use. Recommendations?
Honestly, I have had great luck with Wal-Mart juice. That tap was the most popular one in the kegerator over the holidays!
I'm glad it turned out well. Something about fermenting apple juice really needs conditioning, IMO.By going through all the selections, I found a juice from concentrate at Walmart that had nothing listed on the ingredients but apple juice and water--no vitamin C or anything else. I used this by adding about a pound of honey to 4 gallons of juice. I poured it onto an American Ale yeast cake from a finished stout. It sat in primary for two weeks and in secondary for 60 days. After the primary it was very harsh. After secondary it was much smoother. I used this to make a couple gallons of Apple Jack. It turned out quite nice and is now aging in half-gallon bottles.
