Collection: Cider Essentials
It’s apple season folks and that means it’s time to make some cider! Here are all the ingredients you'll need to start a batch of hard cider (except the cider itself - we recommend hitting up your local farmers market for that). If you're already brewing beer you'll likely have all the equipment already, but in case you don't, we've included that as well.

We've also got step-by-step instructions right here in our Johnny Appleseed Hard Cider Recipe sheet on how to make cider. We've recommend Safcider AB-1 for this recipe, but there are lots of options to choose from, and we encourage you to check them all out!
