From testing equipment to essential fermentation supplies The Hard Cider Starter Kit includes everything you need to begin making your first batch. Just combine it with some bottles and one of our delectable hard cider recipe kits in order to get pouring.

With a yield of about 6 gallons (64 – 12 oz. Beer Bottles) our recipe kits are simple to use and delicious to make.

Follow these 4 easy steps.

1. Mix your juice and yeast
2. Ferment for 10-14 days
3. Bottle and carbonate
4. Crack open a cold one and savor the moment

Or if youre using your own apple cider, simply add sugar, cider yeast to ferment your juice, pectic enzyme to clarify your cider, yeast nutrient to support your cider yeast, apple extract to enhance flavor, and priming sugar to carbonate your cider.

If youre looking to expand production and level up your equipment, grab a 6 gallon carboy for additional fermentation capacity, or maybe try one of our kegging systems for easy carbonation and serving.
