Description
Dry Hopped Apple Cider extract kit
Dry Hopped Apple Cider from Mangrove Jack´s Craft Series is a crisp, refreshing and fruity apple cider, with dry hops adding tropical notes.
Mangrove Jack´s ciders are made from fresh fruit that is pressed and concentrated, then cold-filled into a pouch to keep the natural flavour of the fruit.
Note: To make this extract kit you also need 1 kg of dextrose/glucose, or even better Cider Enhancer, to reach the intended alcohol content.
