Up until yesterday I had only used the Great Value 'generic" FAJC which contains juice from concentrate and Vitamin C. The store was out of the GV brand so I purchased a few cans of Tree Top FAJC. After pouring it into the fermenters, I tasted the last couple of drops from the bottom of the can and immediately noticed the two brands tasted very differently. I looked at the Tree Top ingredient list and Malic Acid came between the juice from concentrate and the Vitamin C--no wonder they taste very different. I am not going to cry over $0.30 difference in each can I use but I wonder if using T.T. will put too much Malic Acid in the finished juice, but more specifically after I freeze concentrate it, will it potentially ruin the flavor of my applejack? Does anyone here have experience with this scenario or something similar? All input is welcome, thank you.
