I have been reading a lot of stuff on here about turbo cider, and being a cider snob I wanted to make the following observations.
Concentrate VS pressed......
Pressed apple juice is great, its apples, chopped up, squished, occasionally filtered or treated to get rid of the brownness.
Concentrate on the other hand IS NOT JUICE!!!
The way they make apple juice from concentrate is they get the dry apple pulp after pressing, then steam it and distill the steam..... then add sugar and flavourings etc. there is no juice in concentrate! At best it is steamed apple water with sweeteners and flavourings.
Just wanted to highlight this to people who werent aware of the process.
Until I found out how it was made, I just assumed it was pressed apple juice that was concentrated and the rehydrated later.
So when making WOW and Turbo Cider, consider this when choosing what "juice" you buy (although I know some people will go for the cheapest which is fine, but it isnt really juice therefore cider)!
