Magnum Cider Range

The Magnum Cider Range makes about 23 litres of home-made cider from fruit concentrate, in four flavours: Apple, Pear, Strawberry and Elderflower. Choose the flavour from the options above.

The flavours

• Apple - 100% apple concentrate for a clear, crisp, dry cider (see Magnum Apple Cider Kit)
• Pear - 100% pure pear concentrate for a clean, delicate pear cider (see Magnum Pear Ciderkit)
• Strawberry - crisp apple cider with sweet strawberry (see Magnum Strawberry Cider)
• Elderflower - floral and fresh, made with an elderflower extract (see Magnum Elderflower Cider)

Equipment you need

A fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, syphon, and bottles or a pressure barrel. Sanitise everything with ChemSan (no-rinse) or use VWP as a cleaner/steriliser and rinse - cider is particularly prone to wild yeast.

Yeast and finishing

Every kit comes with its own yeast. Use Beer Finings for a clearer cider and Carbonation Drops to prime the bottles. Full method: Magnum Cider Kit Instructions.
