So the 'cocktail' mixes with all the extra additives will ferment? I thought
all the added 'stuff' and acids would not allow the mixture to ferment.

My 100% welches grape with a little welches apple juice tastes outstanding.
After giving it at least a week before trying again, it came out awesome.

It was pretty sweet (which I like). I used one can grape juice (frozen
concentrate) and half a can of apple juice, 1 cup sugar and yeast. It had a
nice 'kick' but I could have drank the whole 2 litters in a day if I did not
have self control :)

10 days to 2 weeks. Put in fridge on day 14 to clarify for 2 days. Will taste
exactly like grape soda, but with a little kick. I figure I get around 6%ABV.

a day in the fridge to clarify and chill down will vastly improve the taste and
quality of your ciders. Face it, you're not gonna put Spire/Woodchuck/Hornsby's
out of the hard cider business, but at least you'll have something drinkable for
little or no work!
