Where are you finding your concentrate? I'm in San Diego and haven't found it at the stores by my house. This is my last ingredient before getting started

I am new to home brewing. You mentioned Sorbate, is that the same as Potassium Sorbate? For Sulfite, are you able to use campden tablets.

I will look for that today on my way home, because I would prefer to age it in the bottles. Should I store in the a cool dark place or in the fridge?

Thank you for the advice. I didn't have to add very much to top off. But hope that it will clear in a month. I really just wanted to see what type of results I would get with the ingredients I had. I will do some further reading around this site before I attempt my next batch which will more...

I siphoned it out of the jug and back into the jug, topped it off with additional cider. How long should I age it? Or is the aging just to clear it up? As my final step, I intend to bottle it with a light carb and let that sit for around 2 weeks.

Yes, I meant .95, sorry. OK, So I only have 1 glass jug, I have cleaned and sanitized a plastic spring water container. Is it OK to transfer the batch to this water container, wash the glass jug, transfer back and then top the glass jug off with plain cider and age it for a bit?

I failed to take a starting gravity. But I do have some of the juice remaining and tested it, which would be close minus the concentrate I added. The gravity of the juice is 1.055. I am getting something like 0.095 now and it's been fermenting around 65-68 degrees.

Ok, I have never made hard cider so I decided to go with 1gal. I bought unfiltered apple juice, EC-1118 yeast and apple juice concentrate. I poured the concentrate in and topped it off with juice. I pitched the entire packet of yeast that I re-hydrated on top, popped the stopper and airlock...

Sounds delicious!
