This is still the best video on KZfaq about how to make cider. Thanks.

Watch this video every year,sort of like a refresher,best cider video on KZfaq,,only one thing that gets me every year,,, when your racking off the cider in the kitchen does somebody go to the toilet in the background,,,👍👍👍

Best video I've seen yet! Thanks mate. Your reaction when you popped the bottle made me smile! Awesome! 😁👌🏻

Your cider looks outstanding. Thank you very much for the tutorial!

Really good video, thank you for taking the time to show everyone. The cider looks amazing!

Excellent video on making cider, love that it was from tree to bottle exactly what I was looking for, thanks

Excellent video. I just took a workshop and I needed a review. I feel more confident now to begin. Thank you!!!

Hey, that was the cutest interruption I've ever seen. No need to apologize.

I've been wanting to do this for years. Have all the pieces in the shed to make a car jack press, but just never got round to it. Your brilliant video has just inspired me to get everything ready for this years apple harvest. I am lucky enough to live near an orchard. Well, kind of an orchard haha. Will be using your video as the reference. Good work mate.

Every year and I mean every year before I start I always watch this. My cider has never failed after watching this. Excellent video and the best for following to make sure you have a quality cider at the end.

Beautiful little girl! Glad she's in a family where she's been taught heritage skills.

About to make my first batch of cider, and your video was a real help. Thank you.

Nice work dude! We have a few big apple trees on our property in Oregon, and we just bought a press to make cider out of all the apples that usually just fall and then rot away. Thanks for the great video, it was very well made.

Great video! You’ve the best cider video I’ve seen yet. Cheers from Niagara region, Ontario.

Awesome colour at the finish....love the carbonation you got...lovely!!

Cracking video mate, really helpful and well explained. I'll need to go get my press sorted, it's nearly the season again

What a brilliant video. Love your little girl diving in to distract you. I feel confident up until the pressing. Then?...well it’s anybody’s guess! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video.

Fantastic, clear tutorial. I’ve made wine plenty of times but not tried cider. I’ve just moved house and it came with two apple trees so I need to put them to good use.

very clear, very informative. straight to the point, no farmyard tales nowt but how to make cider. i think i'll have a go myself now.

Clearly a man proud of his work!

Top draw looking forward to making some cider this year very well presented thank you.

Great job. Good tip on using the grater of the food processor too.

Best part of this video. And the reason I put it in my lineup to formulate a plan to process the 150# of apples I got today.... The shirt!❤️

Cracking video mate you have made me want to get making my own cider from my apple trees. Carry on making them

Thank you so much for this! And great tips about a food processor use!

I have a tree full of apples waiting to be picked. I see I have to get some more gear! Many thanks for a most interesting video. Feeling thirsty, having watched the last bit! Many thanks!

I'm 55 now but made loads of homemade beer back when i was 16/18. Thought about making cider this year and your video is brilliant. I've seen those presses for sale but always dismissed them but definitely having a go this year. Great video, and a beautiful interuption from your little assistant. Cheers

Thanks for sharing I use you video for past 3 years since starting, finally cracked how to make great cider last year using extra sugar sucralose from Morrisons for make it sweet and some Wilko Carbonation Drops to make cider fizz. First year my cider wasnt sweet enough or fizzy

Good job mate!!! I look forward to brewing my own cider !!!

wow. looks great! I am excited to brew my own cider.

That was absolutely beautiful

This was the best video on brewing hard cider I have seen. More details on the the process. I have two huge apple trees full of fruit. So far I have made canned apple sauce, dihydrated, brandied, now I want to try hard cider. Thank you

Really enjoyable video. cant wait for the next one

Thanks for posting this, really helpful👍

Cheers for the vid mate. Have just got my first batch on the go to semi John stage. So far so good.

Looks brilliant!!!

good stuff mate, really enjoyed watching this

Thanks! and it looks very professional too. I would have never guessed it's your fist attempt if you hadn't said it:)

Great video. I did my first cider during the summer but used shop bought apple juice. Had some very good results. Bottled into PET bottles, good carbonation, clear and very good. So easy to make and none of the pressing required!

Impressed, great natural delivery, well done.

Awesome video! This is what I share when someone asks me how to make cider.

Really helpful video mate... just started my cider of today and this has been a massive help. Hopefully in a few months I will have 60 pints of cider that looks as good as yours. 😆

This is a great video. Really clear. I’ve just bought the kit and I’m having a go.

Awesome video, oh how I wanted to taste it too with a steak and potato, salad dinner! Cheers!

Great video thankyou. My wife and I make different wines here in NZ and were wondering about making cider from apples and pears. So happy we came across your video. You have a lovely daughter; always a pleasure to see children wanting to be part of what mum & dad are up to.

wow, thats a great looking cider.

That's incredible boss!

well done, look great, i'd have drunk it when cloudy, but looked like worth the wait.

Great video , I invested in an apple crusher this year for £70.00 well worth it !!

Bravo looks wonderful, health to enjoy!! :-)

Cheers!!...deffo gonna use your method

great video, well done young man

Great video many thanks.

Fine instructional video, in particular the audio was great - many others are not. Using a Mehu-Liisa or other steam juicer you can skip the pulping, pressing, and possibly the campden tablets.

Very useful information - I've been looking for advice on how to make cider without spending a small fortune, to see whether I enjoy the process. Thank you.

very good, going to give it a whirl.. well done

I've watched several videos on making cider. Your's was the best I've seen. Thanks, from the other side of the pond!

Friendly heads up for those in the UK...Lidl sells a 18L fruit press, just like this, with the necessary fixings for £39.99! Happy Brewing!

This is very helpful. Liked and subbed.

Honest loved it

Thanks for showing you priming (sucking) the tube rather than editing. Makes it real!

Really useful. Thanks dude

Great video. I am making my first cider using apples from our Discovery apple tree. I have 25 litres fermenting in two buckets and wonder what the final cider will be like.

nice color and nice carbonation awesome

Thanks, great video

Fantastic work! Only video I could stomach over here in NZ rest were rambling on grannys

Interesting thanks, looking forward to seeing more

I like this process

Moving into a house that has an Apple and a Pear tree full of fruit, now I have an idea what to do with them ;) Cheers.

Nice Job!

Just made 10 litres your way, came out very clear, I used baking yeast and it went mental for two days. Left it two weeks under the kitchen table and just syphoned it into two demi johns. One is crystal clear,second slightly cloudy. Made another batch without pectolase and campden tablets and its very cloudy and very yeasty after nearly 4 weeks

nice informative video :)

Excellent Thanks

Am I gonna make it? No, but i was curious ^_^ Pretty awesome 👏🏼 video bud. ^_^

Beautiful

Hello, I'm looking to make a cider of my own for the first time, and have just watched your very informative video. Could you please say what type of yeast and yeast nutrient did you use exactly? Tnx!

Fantastic Video, I'm planning to follow this video to make my own Cider as soon as the apples are ready. Can you advise how much Sugar you added to the juice. You mentioned that you added some Brown sugar or Dextrose but I was wondering how much you actually put in. Thanks

EXCELLENT

Hi, another first time brewer here and this video is fantastic guide, thanks. I've been doing a test run with shop bought apple juice (before attempting with my own tree apples) which has just finished 1st fermentation. The hydrometer readings are all good and as they should be and I'm getting ready to syphon to second container. But the taste, besides being bland from using shop apple juice, isn't very sweet. Should I add sugar to the second container or only during bottling ?

Ver helpful fella. I have just made a 12L batch following your method, however I used a juicer. Google Juice and Strain!

Brilliant

Thank you for

Thanks for great video. What are camden tablets? What temp do you ferment at? How do you use special gravity to calculate alcohol content?

Hiya Mate great video, I have got to the first syphon stage into the demi-jon and the cider tastes like sulphur a bit and used the hydrometer and it measures just below the red 1.0 can you give me any advice to up the alcohol content at all?

Your sparkling cider looks great but I don't use campden; I'd rather hot pasteurize the sweet juice. I find this tends to coagulate and floc the solids, and thus promotes settling within the must. I'll try pectolase in a chemically sterilized batch too, next time, to see if the result tastes different. Good job!

Excellent video, thank you!

Hi, thanks for the really clear video, i am going to attempt to make my first batch of cider this week and have researched many videos and websites and there are so many ways you can do it. I feel most confident with the way you have shown it as you can see the end result. Quick question, would you use 2 teaspoons of yeast, pectolase and yeast nutrient if you had 20l of juice or does it not really matter? Thanks again.

Thanks 🙏 🎉

Hi, great video. We've moved house that's got about 6 apple trees. Got some demijohns and bottles but no buckets or chemicals. Local pub is doing apple pressing this weekend. Could you post a list of chemicals you used and where to get them please? Hoping to make a fizzy sweet cider. Thanks in advance.

Very useful video. Well made. I normally make wine but looks like process very similar. Just one question - I wonder if adding the campden tablet at the same time as the pectolase might weaken the effects of the pectolase - after all the latter is an enzyme and might be sensitive to SO2? Anyway seems to have worked for you but I might put the campden tablet on day 1 and give it 24 hrs to gas off before adding either yeast or pectolase.

Good man, thanks really appreciate the vid can't wait to get cracking. Just out of curiosity how much were your outgoings to get all needed for this and do Wilko's stock all needed thanks Chris

Hey, im trying to make a honey cider, so on the lines of mead. Do you think adding extra honey after fermentation will work well with the sugar for carbonation?

Great vid. Sir. Making my 1st ever batch from tree in yard. 1 question. The fresh juice was delicious. I added the Campden tablets and waited 24hrs before adding nutrient and yeast. The juice had a strange after-taste after the Campden tablets and 24hrs. I sanitized everything, and Spec. Grav. Pre-Pitch was 1.51. Wondering if I did something wrong w. the Campden or vessels? Is it normal for juice to change flavor after Campden and 24hrs in fridge? Cheers. - John.

I've got four trees in the back garden groaning with apples. Four different varieties too. But now I know what to do with them. Splendid video. One thing, what size was that fruit press. I've been looking at them on eBay & they're measured in litres. Your press looks to be the perfect size. Do you know how big it is?

In restrospect, would you have done anything differently? What changes will you make to your next batch?

Just put my first batch of cider on using apples from a variety called James grieve using a vigo press, do you put the chamfered end of the slats pointing up or down , I had them pointed down. The instructions day cut end down but that's a bit ambiguous.

Wow, amazing colour in the glass. My first one ended up almost clear... Can you tell me how fine the mesh of your press is? Mine really gets pulp to force through...

Nice video! I'm wondering what is the best capacity volume of cider press for home use? How much volume does your cider press holds?

I've done exactly the same, picking wild apples last few years here is my batch waiting this year 5 gallons later 🙃

Nice "how do they do it"! I have a question: when the fermentation is done (not bubble anymore) how long do you keep it in the fermentation bottle? Or just siphon it in a demijohn and keep it for months to go clear?
