If using your own apple juice then you can make any quantity, that vessel will be OK up to around 20 litres or so but you could make a small batch if preferred, if you are adding sugar then base the amount of sugar on the volume you make, as a guide 50g per litre. Some people like to add other things to flavour the cider, honey, or even fruits too.

You can also use the kit to make cider from ingredients kits, they usually make up to 40 pints, and come with the yeast and nutrients, some need 1 to 1.3 kgs of sugar adding too, such as this;
