I read the other post that said you used 1 cup Splenda for 2 gal
cider. Wow, that is really sweet. If anybody reads this thread and just
wants to soften a dry cider, try 1 cup Splenda per 5 gal cider. If
you're like me, you're cider will last a year or so before you drink
it all. If you haven't had a lot of it in the past, you may find
that you like cider much drier by the end of that year. I used some
of a previous year's batch to sweeten a small batch of cider for
this year.
