HOW TO MAKE...CIDER

PICK APPLES WHEN RIPE

AFTER SCRATTING, LEAVE PULP FOR 24HRS

PRESS TO EXTRACT JUICE AND PUMP THROUGH MUSLIN

CHECK FERMENTATION - THAT SHOULD BEGIN WITHIN FIVE DAYS.

YOU MUST TEST WITH A HYDROMETER BEFORE BOTTLING

TASTE YOUR CIDER FOR SWEETNESS/DRYNESS FROM JANUARY ONWARDS

GOLDEN RULES:

• Use clean fruit
• Sterilise containers and equipment then rinse well
• Use air locks or damp hessian cloth to keep out the dreaded vinegar fly
• Never bottle if still fermenting
• Next year's cider will always taste better!!!

ENJOY!
