I've done a few ciders now where i have used 4.5 gallons of apple juice with a few cans of concentrate, and sorbated/backsweeted with a couple cans of flavored conc.
well anyways these ciders take quite a while to mellow out and actually be drinkable. they have a really "hoochie" taste for 4-5 months.
i was curious if there is a way to create a cider that would either stop before it goes completely dry (maybe high OG?) or one that will mellow out sooner?
I dont have the room to cold crash and i dont mind backsweeting. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to make a semi-sweet to sweet cider that is drinkable in under a month after bottling?
