Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a Hard Cider Brewing Kit to make this recipe?
No, you can use any one-gallon fermenter. However, our Hard Cider Brewing Kit provides everything you need for a seamless brewing experience.
Can I use any type of apple juice?
Yes! Choose your favorite 100% apple juice or cider with no preservatives. Fresh-pressed juice will give you the most robust flavor.

Fermentation typically takes 2–4 weeks. Once bottled, allow the cider to carbonate for about 1–2 weeks before serving.
