I don't add any sugar to my cider. Just the apple juice and the yeast.
The common apple juices you can purchase in Spanish supermarkets, have an OG 1.042-1.04 g/l and I use to bottle them around 1 g/l. So the alcohol content is close to 5%. The cider is not sweet.
I use to bottle some cider without primer, so closer to the traditional cider from Asturias, and some of them with primer, closer to the "sidra el gaitero" but not so sweet.
