Apple Cider

I played around with this a bit...I put
in 1kg of light dry malt, 250gm of
lactose, a stocking with 4 apples and 1
pear peeled and halved and 2lt of pear
and apple juice. Made up to 21lt.
Slow to carbonate in the bottle...after
3 mths the flavour (slighty sweet) and
carbonation was perfect. Highly
recommended.

Great Dry Cider

Made this brew Sept, 2005 to take away
at Xmas for the Daept of War and Finance
to drink.
Made kit up with 1kg dextrose, added 4 x
pelled, cor4ed and quartered Granny
Smith Apples. Used kit yeast and ferment
away for nearly 3.5 weeks. Closing FG
was close enough to 1.000.
Extremely dry cider that I loved, but
other half found a bit dry. Took 3
months to carbonate and had to leave at
December heat in Caravan annexe to
accomplish this.
Will make again and add maybe 200gm of
lactose to sweeten up a tad.

Pretty Good

Made using the kit yeast, 175g of
lactose, 4 peeled+cored+sliced granny
smith apples inserted into a short
stocking to keep them together, filled
to 23 litres, Fermented for about 10
days at 20*C. Was very good at 3 weeks,
and still good now at 7 weeks, the real
apples give it a genuine appley taste
and aroma. Still far too dry for my
tastes though, next time it will be 200g
of lactose, and filled to 18 litres with
apple and pear juice substituted for
some of the water.

Black Rock Cider

Overall a good product - I find [as do
many others i know] that making a batch
stronger than recommended is worthwhile
for a better tasting brew - last time it
was two cans to approx 30litres water -
result very good - good crisp apply
taste - and this coming from someone who
would not normally drink commercial
cider! Next time i intend to chuck in
some real juice - will report back after
that experiment! Check out the website

Great Kits !
I have made two of these and just used

really tasty cider.
