Cider

The world of cider is a little simpler than beer. We offer a series of kits by Mangrove's Jacks and ABC Craft. They are both excellent quality and are almost identical in terms of brewing. Both give authentic cider that is not overwhelmed by sweetness.

We like to mix it up by adding hops - it's a favourite :)

All cider kits make 23 litres and require additional dextrose.

We been asked many times to make cider, but space and equipment have been too limited. Having bought additional shelving and a second bottling machine it is now possible to say 'yes'.

The procedure is the same; sprinkle yeast and come in to bottle, but there are limitations.
There is NO flexiblity in your bottling date. Cider goes off quickly.
Plastic 500-mL beer bottles or flip-tops are essential.
Flip-tops come in 500-mL, 750-mL and 1-litre. They are a worthwhile investment.
Remember, ciders contain sediment and must be poured before drinking.

We are happy to make any Mangrove Jack's cider. Prices include the required dextrose or cider enhancer. Enhancer contains more complex sugars and adds to the final flavour.

We have hopped apple and pear ciders and these add another dimension. We will add any hops we have in stock and we're happy to suggest something complementary.
