My first impression was how good the concentrate smells and tastes it's reminiscent of those fruit leather squares you buy individually wrapped at the grocery store. I fermented a gallon of Sprouts apple cider with SafCider S-04, and then used a jar of this concentrate to backsweeten. I was a little hesitant because of how industrial this product looks, but it's fantastic and everything I hoped it would be.
I feel like this is just what you need to take a boring cider to the next level. I ordered this mostly out of curiosity, and I was actually pretty impressed. The solution can be used as a flavor ingredient alongside fresh apple juice to impart high levels of tannin that will give your hard cider a wonderful mouthfeel, complex flavor, and great color and body. This will leave you with a solution that is approximately 1.040 SG with an estimated alcohol content of 5.2% ABV after fermentation. We recommend diluting with 6 parts water to 1 part concentrate to reconstitute the original apple juice. This process concentrates the natural sugars in the juice, making the resulting product easier to store for longer periods and less cumbersome when transporting. Having been home to apple orchards for thousands of years, the climate of this area allows the apples to slowly mature, which produces fruit with excellent complexity and flavor balance.Īpple cider concentrate is produced by removing water from freshly pressed apple juice through evaporation while under vacuum. Harvested from the adjoining British counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire, apples grown in this region benefit from high quality soils, nearly year-round rainfall, and a mild maritime climate. Made from traditional UK Cider Apples grown in the unique terroir of the finest apple-growing region in the world.
