Asda's Never from Concentrate Range for cider

[SteBeardface]

Hi guys, I've been looking into brewing some cider in the future as the missus doesn't partake in the beer very much (but I will get her there eventually...). Normally she goes for the flavoured ones and I've seen Roddy's strawberry and lime TC already.

I was wondering how well other fruit juices would cope with brewing? Specifically the apple and mango juice at Asda. As it's fresh, I'm assuming it will need pasteurising before fermenting?

Any tips would be great, I'm very keen to try this out!

I don't make cider but do make wine from supermarket juice I have found no difference between from concentrare and not from concentrate juices they taste the same when finished, have a look at this -http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=49462

Excellent news! Do you need to heat up the fresh juice/"Never from concentrate" before I use it though, to make sure I avoid infection?

No, i have never boiled a juice and never had an wine go bad.
