Make Your Own Cider

If your apple trees are heavy with fruit, turning that abundance into your own homemade cider is one of the most rewarding ways to enjoy the harvest.

To get started, it helps to have the right cider-making equipment. With dedicated gear, you can expect around 10 litres of fresh apple juice from 15–20 kg of good-quality apples. You’ll need an apple crusher to break down the fruit and a press to extract the maximum amount of juice.

While the initial investment in cider-making equipment can seem high, quality presses and crushers are built to last for generations — and you’ll enjoy the benefits year after year with every new harvest.

If you’d rather skip the cost of specialised equipment, there’s still an easy way to make your own cider. Cider concentrate packs offer a simple, affordable alternative that produces delicious results without the need for crushers or presses.
