Hard apple cider

pektel · 10-16-2013, 06:16 PM

Anyone here make their own? I picked about half the apples from one of my trees, and I've got around 70ish pounds so far. So I figured I'd try my hand at a batch of hard cider this year.

I bought a kit from vintners best (ldcarlson), because that's what my local brewing/winemaking supplier suggested. Part #3010dlc if anyone is interested in that part.

Also bought the other ingredients (champagne yeast, campden, yeast energizer, pectic enzyme).

Anyways, just wondering if there's any personal experiences/tips any of you guys may have. I'll be buying a juicer tomorrow to get the process started.

Thanks in advance!
