Iron mic. punch cidermade this a few times the recommened way, using apple & pear juice, etc. Ther'e all good but I like to use two kits + 1kg dextose & make upto 30 Litres. Will take 3 - 4 months before you can drink but it's worth the wait! |

Perry CiderThis is a Perry/Cider hybrid...Black Rock Cider + 2l 100% Fresh Pear Juice + 1kg Sugar + water topped up to 23l mark. Fermented at 21 ~27... 2 weeks after bottling it tasted like the fluid that collects in the bottom of a rubbish bag but let it sit for 3months and it's a beaut medium-dry cider. Bloody strong though ! The key is to let this stuff rest. One avenue of improvement would be Champagne yeast and dry enzyme... |

leave out the applesTried this one twice. Fermentables 1kg 3:1:1 LDM:maltodextrins:glucose. Added 1 bottle Top Shelf apple schnapps spirits flavour. Second time, also added 2 granny smith apples and 3L preservative-free apple juice - brought the sg to 1055, yielding rocket fuel, and a tad bitter. Fine if you like it that way but I prefer it otherwise. I drink this stuff with a bit of sugar syrup or tonic water to sweeten it. Have tried Splenda in the bottles but it's not as nice. |

Apple CiderI played around with this a bit...I put in 1kg of light dry malt, 250gm of lactose, a stocking with 4 apples and 1 pear peeled and halved and 2lt of pear and apple juice. Made up to 21lt. Slow to carbonate in the bottle...after 3 mths the flavour (slighty sweet) and carbonation was perfect. Highly recommended. |

Great Dry CiderMade this brew Sept, 2005 to take away at Xmas for the Daept of War and Finance to drink. Made kit up with 1kg dextrose, added 4 x pelled, cor4ed and quartered Granny Smith Apples. Used kit yeast and ferment away for nearly 3.5 weeks. Closing FG was close enough to 1.000. Extremely dry cider that I loved, but other half found a bit dry. Took 3 months to carbonate and had to leave at December heat in Caravan annexe to accomplish this. Will make again and add maybe 200gm of lactose to sweeten up a tad. |

Pretty GoodMade using the kit yeast, 175g of lactose, 4 peeled+cored+sliced granny smith apples inserted into a short stocking to keep them together, filled to 23 litres, Fermented for about 10 days at 20*C. Was very good at 3 weeks, and still good now at 7 weeks, the real apples give it a genuine appley taste and aroma. Still far too dry for my tastes though, next time it will be 200g of lactose, and filled to 18 litres with apple and pear juice substituted for some of the water. |

Black Rock CiderOverall a good product - I find [as do many others i know] that making a batch stronger than recommended is worthwhile for a better tasting brew - last time it was two cans to approx 30litres water - result very good - good crisp apply taste - and this coming from someone who would not normally drink commercial cider! Next time i intend to chuck in some real juice - will report back after that experiment! Check out the website for more of our brewing adventures |
