AC-4 Fermentis was terrific!

I had never done hard cider before. I wanted a CRISP, not sweet result. Started with 6 gallons of organic, pasteurized apple juice, not from concentrate. Didn't have to be organic, but that's what I could get. To be sure I used 2 packets of AC-4. I watched my Tilt floating hydrometer drop from 1.052 to 1.002 in 6 days. The yeast consumed virtually all of the sugar. Resulting ABV was 6.56%. I was surprised that people loved it. It's well carbonated. It's crisp and dry. Almost like drinking champagne. I'll be doing this again!
