Grape and Granary proudly offers a number of high quality cider making kits including , spice apple cider kits, pear cider kits, cherry cider kits and mixed berry cider kits. Each of the cider kits we offer produces 6 US gallons of premium quality cider or about (60) 12 oz bottles. Each kit can be made carbonated or still. Each kit will require 2 pounds of Corn Sugar for the fermentation process. If you wish to carbonate the cider you will need corn or priming sugar (corn sugar/dextrose) or carbonation drops.
Cider Making Process from Cider Kits-
The first step of cidermaking from cider kits is the primary fermentation. Fermentation is a process in which yeast converts fruit sugars into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. After the primary fermentation step, the bottle carbonation step is done. In this second stage, a small amount of sugar (priming sugar, dextrose or carbonation drops) are added to the cider and the cider is bottled. The bottled cider is then stored at fermentation temperature until it cabonates and matures (about two weeks). Once the carbonation step is complete, the cider can be stored at any temperature and it is ready for drinking.
