Apple juice (not really home brewing as such)
« on: November 12, 2011, 06:49:42 am »
We are going to finish off pressing the apples this weekend and I am going to make alot more apple juice as hubby has already got 20 gallons of cider.

I have been advised to add ascorbic acid but was wondering about adding campden powder aswell.

Is this recommended for apple juice?

Any thoughts/experience?

I will be pasteurising the juice but was thinking maybe the addition of the campden would be belt and braces and help the juice keep for longer. I am not planning to store them in fridge or freezer and would want the bottles to keep for a year

I don't know the answer but I am going to a half day apple pressing course at Falkland Centre for Stewardship on Tuesday morning so will see if I can find out if you haven't had the answer on here by then :)
