no it dosent realy matter what apples you use.and if you put in 5lb of sugar it will just end up sweet .wine yeast will die off at 15% vol half the sugar turns to alcohol the other to carbon dioxide what ever is left after15% just sweetens the cider 15% is enuff i think it getts you wankerd..........
