Cider Concentrate Kits

A cider kit is the shortest honest route from nothing to twenty odd litres of something you made yourself. The concentrate is already fermentable, the yeast usually comes in the box, and your job is temperature, patience and clean gear. It is also the friendliest place to start if you have never brewed before.

Mangrove Jacks Craft Series is where most of this shelf lives. Apple and Pear are the classics and the ones to learn on. From there it gets fruitier, with Strawberry and Pear 2.4kg, Raspberry and Lime, Mango and Raspberry, Peach and Passion Fruit, and Elderflower and Lime 2.4Kg. Coopers Apple Cider 500g is the smaller, simpler tin. If you are starting with nothing, the Basic Cider Brewing Starter Kit by Mangrove Jacks bundles the gear with your first batch. Bintani Apple Juice Concentrate suits anyone building a recipe rather than following one, and Fermentis Safcider AS2 Sweet 11.5g is worth adding if you want the finished cider to sit on the sweeter side.

The mistake we see most is fermenting cider too warm. Keep it in the low twenties and it stays clean and appley. Let it climb and you pick up a hot, solventy note that no amount of time in the bottle will fix.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to make cider?

A fermenter with airlock, a no-rinse sanitiser, a cider kit or concentrate, yeast (often included in the kit) and bottles with caps. A hydrometer helps you know when fermentation has finished.

How do I make a sweeter cider?

Most ciders ferment dry. To sweeten, add a non-fermentable sweetener at bottling, or stabilise the cider before back-sweetening. Here is how to stabilise before back-sweetening.

Can I make cider from fresh apples?

Yes. Crush the apples and press the juice, then ferment it. We stock fruit crushers and fruit presses for the job.
