Champagne yeast at between 20-26C. Ferment until all fermentation is
complete and bottle into either Champagne or beer bottles.
Priming sugar is added to make a sparkling Cider.

And the results........
SPARKLING CLEAR APPLE CIDER.
Each 2 litre 100%
apple concentrate with Champagne yeast is $21.00.
this will make 12 litres
To make a standard 24 litre batch of Cider you will need to purchase
2 x 2 litre concentrates. THATS 5KG of apple concentrate per brew.
If you want to try the smaller 12 litre ferment first, choose a fermenter to match the size of the fermentation ie. 15 litre glass demijohn or 15 litre polyethelene fermenter..no larger than this. This is to avoid a large air space. Otherwise use your standard brewing fermenter and use 2 x 2 litre concentrates.
