Description

Would you like to try your hand at making cider? This all-in-one cider making kit is a good way to get started. 
 
Mangrove Jack’s British Series Apple Cider Pouch is a convenient all-in-one kit for making cider at home. It has the taste of delicious orchard apples; light and crisp with a juicy apple bite. Only the freshest and best quality fruit are used in this cider. It is pressed and concentrated using state of the art evaporators, and then cold filled into a pouch. This ensures the natural flavor of the fruit is preserved, giving you cider which is fresh and crisp. 
 
These kits come with yeast, preservative, sweetener, and Cider Extract. The yeast, preservative, and sweetener can be found in a pouch inside the W300 bag. 
  • ABV: Approximately 5.2 % 
  • Style: Sweet 
  • Color: Gold
  • Makes 6 Gallons
Please Note: You will need 2-2.5 lbs of dextrose (corn sugar) for this kit as well (the directions call for 1 kg, or 2.2 lb). See our You Might Also Need Section below for products. 
 
These kits are tasty uncarbonated, but add some bubbles and things get even better. We recommend a pack of Carbonation Drops to help give this cider a carbonic kick!

Best cider kit I have ever made
Aaron C on Mar 4, 2022
So I made this for my daughter, asked her how she wants it, her answer was “dry”. Well it’s done and it’s way too dry for her. Is it safe to add some of the sweetener sachet after fermentation?
Dale H on Dec 21, 2021
BEST ANSWER: You can add it at any time (but it might be difficult if it is individually bottled. I personally dont like the flavor of artificial sweetener, so when my cider is done fermenting, i rack it and then add one can of apple concentrate (like the ones you find in the grocery freezer section) and some potassium sorbate (to prevent further fermentation). This adds just enough sweetness to overcome the apple dryness/funkiness.

What's in Cider?
I made a cider using this bad boy, and although i prefer my cider from local orchards and sweetened with apple concentrate, this kit was still very good. The first month after fermentation, this kit smelled like straight farts and i was very disappointed. However, I let the keg sit for another month and the smell has completely vanished. Very good!

Great reviews from friends who loved the Hard Apple Cider
First time I've tried cider, usually just stuck with beer. This was a pleasant surprise and loved by friends. Definitely will do another cider. The first was Apple but ready to branch out and try other flavors.

Well-designed kit and easy instructions
My wife made this kit for her first venture into fermented beverages. We were pleased by the simplicity of the process and the quick turn around time. Fermentation required about 2 days more indicated in the instructions, but still pretty fast. The yeast tends to give a slight sulfur aroma, but not too bad. My wife was happy with the results and ordered another pouch.

Decent Cider
Easy to use. Ferments into a decent cider. Maybe a little too much apple essence.

Meh
I get that it's just a basic cider kit, but I was pretty disappointed in the overall flavor. Lacked any kind of character.

It's nice but...
The work to make it is super easy and simple. It's cider concentrate, and you just add water and yeast. The outcome is a decent cider.

The only downside is that drinking it gives us heartburn.

Very easy to make, decent cider
This kit was very simple to make. The whole process took about 10 minutes, including sanitizing my fermentation bucket.
I made a 250ml starter using a stir plate 2 days prior (DME & Fermaid K). I used cold, filtered water to hit the target volume and followed all directions (except for any heating that may have been specified).. basically followed a no boil mead or wine protocol. There's an artificial apple flavor packet that's part of this kit that seems a bit dodgy, but I used it as indicated despite my reservations.

The cider fermented on the low-mid range specified for the included yeast strain for a month, then another month in secondary better bottle.

The finished product was good, but not great: it tastes good, but it seems painfully under carbonated compared to Samuel Smith's Cider or Indigeny (local to CA). The instructions call for something like 5 oz priming sugar, probably because most people don't regularly use heavy belgian or champaigne bottles, so that's about 2.5 volumes CO2. I will certainly make this kit again, but I will use something on the order of 9oz sugar to hit 4.5-5 volumes CO2 and use heavy bottles.

I might experiment with different yeasts in the future, or perhaps various pureed fruits, and expect this kit will provide a good foundation for many future batches.

This eventually carb'd after 3 months conditioning in low 70F range. I would suggest a fresh re-pitch of yeast and conditioning at 2 weeks in the high range for the yeast if going to bottle.

1 year later, bottle aged, this cider is fantastic. Five stars, would not change a thing. Highly recommend.

Nice, crisp & clear - more solid sediment in bottle.
First 2 batches done. Did not add the sweetener and the result was a dry, crisp cider. Everyone who has tried it likes it better than the sweet store bought stuff. Used one carb tab for 1/2 liter bottle (about 16 oz) and got mild to low fizz. Sediment in bottle was easy to rinse out but firm enough that you don't have to be hyper careful doing a "one pour". 4 stars because my two batches came out at different ABVs - don't know why. More consistency (or a cute barmaid included) would get it a five. Will buy again.
