I don't think anyone can say whether or not fermentation will restart. There are simply too many variables. I'd be very surprised if the concentration of preservatives in the concentrated juice would be sufficient to stop a renewed fermentation, once it's thinned out in the cider. Your best bet would be to rack your cider and add one crushed campden tablet for every gallon of cider. Also add sorbate; I rarely use the prescribed amount because I think it adds a strange taste to the beverage, but a small addition would be a good idea. Finally, top up with concentrated juice with or without preservatives. Give it at least 6 weeks before bottling. Greg G. |
