Re-using Yeast Cake at bottom of Brew

Well we're now on the third batch from original brew. just keep adding Apple juice and surgar. The 4#'s of sugar to 5 Gallons of grocery store juice seems to be producing an astounding batch of cider.

for the past few months just bottling, then adding more juice and surgar to the existing yeast cake at the bottom of the 5 gallon carboy has been producing amazing results.

I Plan on ending this batch after 20 gallons from the same two yeast packages. It's been great but I'm out of bottles/containers to put it in. Today will mark 20 gallons of very very very good hard cider form $2 worth of yeast.

Last batch as described below was awsome. extending it over and over again by just adding store bought juice and surgar ( and green apple extract ) has been astounding.

Why with as simple as it is and as good as the results are more people don't brew their own Hard Cider is beyond me.
