How do you brew cider using a brewing kit?
I have come across some cheap cider kits on the internet, but I am not sure the method for using these. Do I need a barrel/keg? Do I need a fermenting bin? Is there anywhere I can get an 'All-in-one', which includes everything needed for brewing a traditional english cider? Thanks for your help.
Answers:
If I were you I'd spend $50 on a beginners hombrew kit. It'll come with everything you need as far as equipment. Then, get 5 gallons of cider, but make sure it has NO PRESERVATIVES added, this could kill the yeast. Then pick up some cider brewers yeast, whitelabs makes it but you can find it at any homebrew store. Then mix the cider with the yeast in a closed fermentation vessel, and after 2 weeks, bottle it just like you would a beer. Check out the sires below for some more info. Hope this helps!!!
