It's sugar and or glucose-fructose that will not convert to alcohol and will retain its sweetness I just keep adding mixing and tasting until I have the correct sweetness for my taste then bottle itView attachment 15256
I made another batch of cider. Crab apples with Snowsweet are a winner. Crabs and haralred were not as good. Perhaps Haralred are not quite ripe, but some were dropping.
My Haralson dropped in Sept. this year. Nice big apples and I tried a few. They tasted just like water. No flavor. Does too wet and too little sunshine cause this?

Here are my current 3 batches in secondary fermentation and clearing process I will probably do a 3rd fermentation after siphoning off the really clear cider
Those small glass bottles of cider look great - how long can you leave them in there? I haven't seen lids/caps like those before, how do they work? Is that a hard cider or straight sweet cider? I've been planting way too many apple trees for a number of years and I would eventually like to make cider like you guys. This is great information.

Those bottles were filled in 2014 I think. Nit sure how they will taste now. I have them in fridge. They are grolsch beer style bottles. Work great. That is hard cider
