Review on Home Brewing Craft Hard Cider Kit: Brooklyn Brew Shop Starter Set by Savannah Williams

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great kit, great instructions.

Excellent set, average instructions. This kit has everything you need and a link to the instructions you need to do what you want. However, ignore their instructions on the yeast website and follow the instructions on the Top Star Yeast Pack for yeast activation. Also, one packet of yeast can be used for 5 gallons of one of your poisons, so you don't have to toss it all in unless you're getting something low in potassium sorbate (ideally you don't want potassium sorbate, but you want an adequate amount of yeast). will get away with it). I assume they tell you to put all the yeast in to ensure fermentation and therefore a good first experience.

Pros
  • For 3 batches of 7% alcohol hard cider (9-10 x 12 oz bottles). Tart, bubbly and dry, this is the easiest (and most delicious) hard cider you'll ever make.
Cons
  • confused
