What Equipment Do You Need?

A 25-litre fermenter with airlock, a hydrometer, a syphon, and either bottles with caps or a pressure barrel. New to brewing? Our home brew starter kits bundle everything in one go. Always sanitise your equipment with VWP or ChemSan before you start.

Yeast: ferment with Gervin GV13 Cider Yeast or Mangrove Jack's M02 Cider Yeast. Add Yeast Nutrient for a healthy fermentation.

Fermentation Timeline

Day 1: Mix the kit with your dextrose and top up to 23 litres. Pitch the yeast at 18-22°C.

Day 7-14: Fermentation finishes. Confirm with two identical hydrometer readings two days apart before you bottle.

Week 3+: Condition in the bottle or barrel for at least a week before drinking.

Tips for Best Results

• Keep fermentation steady at 18-22°C for a clean, fruity result
• Don't skip sanitisation — cider is especially prone to off-flavours from poor hygiene
• Never bottle on the calendar — bottle on the hydrometer
• Serve well chilled, over ice if you like

Each of our cider varieties is formulated with only the freshest, best quality fruit, pressed and concentrated, then cold-filled into a pouch to preserve natural flavour.
