Treetop's 3 Apple Blend

[bondra76]

Used this for a cider recently and it's great stuff. I'm usually the type to go organic with everything and hate major brands, but I was attracted to this stuff because of the combination of different apples, giving a cider a more complex flavor.

Anyways, highly recommend this stuff if you're looking for store bought juice

I've used this juice for many batches and they have all turned out great.

I've noticed some flavored ciders turning up in stores this year. Anyone tried making hard cider with that?

 

[bondra76]

I haven't. I always just use the base cider and then backsweeten with a different juice (cherry, peach, etc).

I would really like to use guava but it's so cloudy.

I buy the Treetop unpasteurized from Costco for my cider base...works wonderfully.

I usually just take the cheapest pasteurized apple juice I can find. If there's a pasteurized cider or quality juice that's within say 70 cents/gallon I'd consider it. Most I've found has been more around the range of 50%-250% more per gallon

I bought my cider fresh pressed at the mill. I compared the taste to a gal. of pasteurized store brand cider the other day. They couldn't taste more different. Maybe it's the sorbate or the apples or the freshness.
