I'd been thinking about doing a cider for awhile but hadn't seriously looked at it until I drove past the inlaws orchard while out colecting firewood. Was quite suprised by the number of apples still on the trees so decided to put together a cider the following weekend. Did a bit more research...

Howdy All The lady friends are all hitting me up for a cider for Oz Day celebrations. Normally I just do 21l Apple Juice, 500g lactose and cider yeast from craftbrewer and it has always been a hit. However, I want to take a punt and make something even better. They have all been crapping on...

Hey y'all, Tomorrow I'm brewing my first cider! It's going to be a pear cider! I bought 40kg of pears and 2 kg of strawberries. I've put them in the freezer so they break up a bit and give more juice. I'm planning to juice 'em tomorrow and than simmer the lot for 1/2 hour. I'm thinking of...

Was having a browse when I came upon this site, http://www.ibrew.com.au/html/Cider/Cider.html, advertising 100% apple concentrate. Has anyone tried/used this? The concentrate is sold with a yeast, which gives an end result of sparkling cider, also an ABV. of 9% - 10% Have only seen one...

I am trying my first homebrew ever and decided to start with a simple recipe for hard cider, but as I go big or go home, I want to push the alcohol content far above the usual cider ABV. If this works out well using the equipment I have on hand, I will invest in better equipment and specialty...

I believe in the principle that you can never have too many apple trees, however this year I have heaps of apple seedlings coming up around the place. If you pot them up in good potting mix they will be good for grafting next winter, or you can just grow them as trees in your garden. Cider apple...

Hey, I'm having a bit of a foray in to cider making at the moment. Been putting down a couple of test small batches using various pear and apple juices and s-04 at a low temp with the hope of some residual sweetness. Wondering if, since cloudy apple juice is always meant to be kept cold, this...

Hi Guys New to the forum so thought I would try and contribute something simple I have tried. I was in the shops and saw the Nudie apple cider was on special and thought, why not make a small batch of cider? Having used oztops before with berri apple juice and finding it semi decent, I went...
