I've seen a few calculators online for how much priming sugar to add to bottle carb, but none have info about apple juice concentrate.

Anyone have any experience with a good amount to add per gallon to get some bottle carbonation?
 
figure out how many oz per gallon you would use for priming sugar, then figure out how many oz of sugar their are in which ever concentrate you choose. its a few steps but not to bad, i have done it a few times to back sweeten wine to a particular gravity.

take your grams of sugar per serving, multiply by the # of servings in the can, convert grams to ounces.
old orchard apple juice concentrate has 5.7 oz of sugar in each can, old orchard blueberry/pomegranate has 6.1 oz of sugar per can, the trick is the numbers on the outside are not always perfect but pretty close.
 
I add 1/2 a can per 1 gallon. It doesn't come out very sweet but the bottles will over carb if not pasteurized
