Thread: Apple Cider

@mrs dundee

I opened my first bottle of Apple Cider today that was made from Keri Apple Juice and bottled on December 4th.

Let it chill in the fridge for a few hours first.

Tastes Bloody Great Too



Will taste even better with a couple of more months under its belt, especially on those long hot February evenings with a BBQ.

I fermented and bottled 15L of Keri Apple Juice on Dec 4 and have another 15L currently in the fermenter which will be bottled in a week or three.

Total costs all up work out at $1.60/L ........ would be even cheaper if I could find a bulk source of apple juice other than the supermarket.

I've Learned that making Cider from commercially squeezed apple juice like Keri or Fresh Up is way easier and gives a much better product than home juicing your own apples.

I also found that the 15L bottles of water they sell at Pak N Save for $9:99 make awesome fermenters and are way cheaper that the $50 odd dollars they want for a fermenter at the brew shops.

Mrs D, Take it easy on the Cider as even after one bottle you'll be feeling the love and Mr D may or may not show any compassion if you over indulge.

Cheers
Pete
