Cider

Cider kits make it possible to produce classic apple and pear cider as well as berry, tropical, hopped, spiced and lemonade-style variations. Choose according to the desired fruit profile, sweetness and finished batch size.

Choosing a cider kit

• Classic apple: Compare Black Rock Apple Cider with Morgan’s Apple Cider.
• Pear cider: Mangrove Jack’s Craft Series Pear Cider provides an alternative to traditional apple.
• Berry and fruit combinations: On The Rocks Mixed Berry Cider suits customers wanting a more fruit-forward style.
• Something different: Southern Tap Lemonade Cider Kit offers a refreshing non-traditional option.

Check whether the kit includes yeast, sweetener and flavour additions, and follow its instructions for fermentation and any final sweetening stage. Use a dedicated cider yeast or nutrient where specified, and never bottle before fermentation requirements have been met.
