i drank one last night (edwort's apfelwein) that had been bottled for about a year and a half and it had smoothed out a bunch.

store bought juice that's fermented has a window. It'll taste like gas the first 3 months. 6 - 12 months is the sweet spot. Let it age.

I've had cider made from store bought juice that was delicious when it was very young.

If you use the Apfelwein recipe, could you use potassium sorbate after fermentation has finished then back-sweeten with frozen concentrate to a desired sweetness? Then bottle for a still cider or keg for carbonation?

If you want to bottle condition and back sweeten you need back sweeten in the glass at serving time (or use splenda or other unfermentable sweeteners.) A few oz of Sprite or juice works well.

Past two years I brought five gallons of this. This year, it floated in an hour. The year before, it took almost two. The one I took this year was aged one year.
