Cider Kits

The Sweet—or Dry—Taste of a Chilled Cider is Perfect Any Time!

Mangrove Jacks Premium cider kits are formulated with the freshest and best quality fruit which is then pressed and concentrated using state of the art evaporators, and cold filled into its airtight pouch. This effort ensures the natural flavour of the fruit is preserved, giving you cider which is fresh, crisp and exceptionally refreshing.

Mangrove Jacks make 23 liters (5 gallons) of delicious cider. You will need to add 1KG of Dextrose to these kits (sold separately).

Advice from a Pro

Although cider starts off as fruit juice which is quite sweet, it’s surprising how dry it will be after the fermenting process. That is why sweetness needs to be added back in with dextrose. This brings it’s sweetness rating to a 0-1 versus the -2 it might be without it. Plus, the added sweetness brings out the fruit flavour, in much the same way as salt brings out the flavour of food.
