The bastards around here won't sell you cider unles they taint it with those heinous preservatives that prevent fermentation. New laws make it mandatory. Any cider sold under the quantity of 1000 gallons must be pasturized and preserved. It completely screws the home brewer.

I'll take take 10, you take 990?Group buy?I get the feeling even if I wanted to buy that much, there's some other hoop I'd have to jump through. The simple fact of the matter is that the new law probably means they can be held completely liable for any food poisoning damages their juice causes if they don't don't take all precautions humanly possible to prevent it. That means they'd prefer not to sell untreated juice to an end consumer, period. The damn lawsuits these days fuck it all up for everyone.

When you say cider, is that just apple juice (concentrated)?
I thought it was a tampon joke!

Nope, fresh pressed apple cider.
But you can make it will apple juice or concentrate you just have to make sure it is 100% juice, no additional sugars and that you are buying pasturized.

Watch carefully for preservatives (sodium benzoate, etc.). You don't want any at all. They inhibit microbial activity, preventing proper fermentation. I tried fermenting some once before I knew better. I had to add a TON of yeast with three huge starters to overcome the chemicals. By the time it was fermented, it had oxidized and tasted marginal at best.
