Cider Making from Fresh Fruit

Firm fruit such as apples should normally be crushed before pressing. Collect the juice in clean food-grade equipment, then ferment it with a suitable cider yeast. Use a hydrometer to follow fermentation and only package when readings are stable.

Essential Cider Making Equipment

Most batches need a fermenter, airlock, hydrometer, sanitiser, syphon and bottles or another suitable vessel. Fresh-fruit batches may also need a fruit crusher, cider press and press bag.
