I want to make one dry carbonated and one sweet still cider. I'm contemplating going to an orchard to pick apples and get them pressed. For people who have used fresh pressed juice, is it worth the trouble, or does store bought juice work just as well?
If it's worth it to go out and get apples pressed, what variety of apples should be used? I'm in the Chicago area if anyone has good suggestions a particular orchard.
This chart looks like a great source, but hardly any of the apple varieties are at orchards near me.
This and this are the sources I will be referencing for blending the apples.
