Macros masquerading as craft, are there many on the off licsence shelves?

I like Orchard Thieves.

Careful , you are not in confession, the confidentiality between you and the priest isn't binding here...you have the chance to withdraw that confession before CH sees it 😁😁😝

Too late🤠
I used to drink Bulmers which is 60% apple juice (disappointingly beause of cost a huge proportion from overseas, Polish surprisingly) orchard thieves is sub 40% and produced by Heino in UK, amazing marketing but dreadfully sickly product and early versions had a significant number of folks have the shits after more than a couple of pints, some artificial sweeteners have laxative properties.
It takes a 1.5mt of apples to make 1000l of Micro cider (macro boys can do it with 500kgs) and country has close to 30 odd cider producers with 3 amazing ones in Cork, each to his own I spose.

60% apple juice....whats the other 40%?

[Leann ull]

Bumped with sugar for fermentation then cut with water and artificial sweetener

I guess acetaldehyde is well hidden in there...

Don't know where you get 1.5 to 1 asa ratio

My research/experience is more like 3 kg og apples equals 1 L of juice.

Bulmers/Magners allegedly ferment "apple wine" to about 13% and then store it in the silos. This is then diluted to be bottled 24/7/365.

You need a lot of AJ (and not sugar) to get to a 13% fg!

Do they boil down the AJ to up the OG like I do?

It's from Cider Ireland homepage Will and a interview with Con Traas.

Bulmers/Magners also have the far superior Linden Village. Or is it Old Somerset?
