Product details

The Craft Hard Apple Cider recipe kit from Mangrove Jack’s has the taste of delicious orchard apples, light and crisp with a juicy apple bite. This traditional style hard apple cider can be served still, or with carbonation to make a refreshingly spritzy drink.

Served lightly carbonated, cider pairs exceptionally well with food. Fresh cheese, leafy greens, seafood morsels and anything slow-cooked, smoked or barbecued will perfectly complement the boozy apple nectar of fall.

Each of Mangrove Jack’s cider varieties has been formulated with only the freshest and best quality fruit which is then pressed and concentrated using state of the art evaporators, and then cold filled into a pouch. All this effort we go to ensures that the natural flavor of the fruit is preserved, giving you cider which is fresh, crisp and especially good on a hot summer's day.

If you don't like apples, just remember a cider a day also keeps the doctor away.

Note: 2 lbs of Dextrose is required for proper fermentation. Other sugars, like brown sugar, can be used.

This hard cider is absolutely amazing!!

Many people can’t believe it is alcoholic and can’t get over the incredible taste!! It tastes so refreshing and delicious!!

Great Kit!

We've brewed many batches of beer before, but this was our first cider. As with all products sold by Northern Brewer, this kit produced a great batch of cider. And I always feel secure, knowing that experienced NB brew masters are available to help if need be.
Now the specifics of the cider: easier and quicker to make than beer, and produces more volume. The Mangrove Jack recipe called for 750 ml bottles (25 ounces) but we used 12 oz bottles. We also used Northern Brewer carbonation drops - the dosage for these drops is 1 drop/12 ounce bottle. Brewed for our nephew, who recently turned 21. He loved it!

a very simple cider kit... i chose to leave it tart and dry(no sweetener additive) and did 3.5 volumes of carb to our liking... was very similar to a certain European cidre on the market

Improving

After 92 brews thought I would try a cider. Messed up on the instructions when I put the "wet" component in after the boiled water instead of before. Don't think it caused any problems. Brewed on 10/20, took a gravity reading a week later (1.004), then bottled on the 29th. Used all 5oz of priming sugar. Estimated the ABV at just above 5% according to the chart. Wasn't thrilled when I tried a bottle after a week. Tasted like a malt fruit beverage (anyone remember Hop'nGator), yeasty, and very sour. Poured a glass last evening: it was clear, well carbonated, and the taste has improved immensely! Has a tinge of sourness to it but still very good. Can't wait to hear some reviews from friends.

Dry Cider

First, there is less process than brewing beer, very simple to make. I decided not to add the sweetener and apple flavor, not my style.
At first, I thought the cider didnt have enough character, wasnt very "apple-ee" but as it conditioned longer in the bottle it greatly improved.
Its light, dry, slightly yeasty and has a character that reminds me of Granny Smith apples, very refreshing.
I find it pares well with almost anything, from salads to heavy meat dishes, even chili!
