Sometime late in the 1970's I visited an apple-grower on Bainbridge Island
in Puget sound who marketed apple juice or cider (I forget which he called
it) in the nearby Seattle market. Trained as a chemical engineer, he
was technologically very astute, and I wish I could recall all that we
talked about. One thing I do remember is that he froze plastic-lined
20-bu. bins of crushed fruit for later pressing, when the busy harvest
season was over. Because of the necessarily slow freezing and thawing,
a degree of oxidation - and perhaps more desirably, maceration - occurred.
Apparently, the resulting juice product was readily accepted.

What are peoples experience adding malic acid to balance a cider that is
unsulfited, and has gone through MLF?
Will the added acid ultimately be consumed by the beasties?
Trying for a bottle conditioned cider and don't want to sulfite it.
Looking for clever solutions- I think drinking relatively soon after
bottling is one. I think a 3 month window is fine if its a slow burn - but
maybe there are other solutions. No filters please.
Thanks

Dear Cider Community,
Registration for CiderCON is OPEN. Please register early to reserve your

Conference block.
CiderCON 2015 will be the best gathering of the Cider Industry yet with
more vendors at the Cider Trade Show, more in-depth sessions and more
networking opportunities with fellow cidermakers, distributors, retailers;
lots of chances to share your ciders.

I look forward to February in Chicago with you (yes it will be cold).
Cheers,
