The quest is to make an Applejack from strore bought apple juice. No fresh squeezed apple juice from an orchard for my location.

Hard to do with all the preservatives that are in store-bought juice. Forget it with bottled stuff.

Read labels on concentrate carefully. I'd use a bottom fermenting yeast.... hell, I'd use fleishman's bread yeast, since it's cider anyway. You can also use cane sugar since it's going to have a cidery taste, and cane sugar just helps that along.

Only other advice I could give is don't baby it. Bring the concentrate/sugar/some water to a boil, mix with tap water that's aereated, pitch 4 teaspoons of proofed bread yeast when the temp drops below 100F, and stand back.

Bread yeast, btw, seems to live fine at up to 10% alcohol.

Sounds pretty country, but it might suprise you. ;)

Wish I could help you out but I brew it seasonally. Sept - Nov I get juice directly from the orchard so I have nothing worthwhile to add about store bought juice. DJF makes some from store bought, perhaps he will chime in.
