Frequently asked questions about Craft Series Raspberry & Lime Cider
What do I need in addition to the kit?
1 kg dextrose or a pack of Cider Enhancer, plus basic brewing equipment such as a fermenter, airlock and sanitizer. The yeast is included.
What is the difference between dextrose and Cider Enhancer?
With dextrose the cider ends up at approx. 5.2 % with an FG below 1.003. With Cider Enhancer Mangrove Jack's states an FG below 1.007, which gives the cider a little more body.
What temperature should the cider ferment at?
Mangrove Jack's recommends 17–22 °C. Fermentation is finished when the gravity is stable for several days in a row.
Can I use malt extract instead of sugar?
No. Cider kits are brewed with sugar or Cider Enhancer, not with malt extract.
