Getting Back in to it.

Watery_Sid

Hi there,
I had an unsuccessful attempt at home brewing about 25 years ago.
The beer was cloudy and tasted awful.
However I enjoyed brewing process itself.
I want to have another cracking at it and do it right this time. I Would like to start with a nice medium dry apple cider sparkling and clear.
Any advice would ne great I have no kit at all.

The quality of the cider refill ingredients has come on a long way, for best results we recommend to bottle them and leave for at least a good few weeks or longer as the flavours continue to develop and improve. It depends on budget but the Great Barr Gold cider is a good one, it is here:

You just need to add water to make, and a little sugar for each bottle to carbonate it. If you have your old equipment then that will be fine to make with, give it a good clean and sterilise with VWP or similar, or we have new equipment available if you need any bits or pieces.

If you need all new equipment then this is ideal if wanting to bottle the finished cider:
