This Cider Making Kit with 4.5 Litre Press is a complete starter set for turning your own apples into cider for the first time. It pairs the Vigo Presses 4.5 litre stainless steel press with everything you need to pulp, press, ferment and test your juice.
What is in the kit
- Vigo Presses 4.5 Litre Stainless Steel Press
- Straining bag
- Pulpmaster and bucket
- 2 x 5 litre PET demijohns with caps and grommets
- 2 x 6-chamber plastic airlocks
- Yeast sachet (5g) and steriliser sachet (10g)
- Hydrometer (SG 0.980-1.120) with 100ml jar
- 2m siphon tube
- Vigo Presses Basic Cider and Juice Making booklet
How it works
Pulp washed apples in the bucket with the Pulpmaster, press the pulp in the straining bag, then ferment the juice in the demijohns under airlock with the yeast. Use the hydrometer to follow fermentation and the siphon to rack the cider off its sediment. The booklet walks you through each step.
Who it is for
Ideal for garden-tree owners and small batches. For bigger harvests see the Cider Making Kit with 6 Litre Hobby Press, or buy the 4.5 Litre Worktop Fruit Press on its own. Campden tablets (1 per gallon) are handy for treating juice, and Gervin GV13 Cider Yeast is a good choice for later batches.
