REFILL INCLUDES:
1 Can Archer's Orchard Traditional Hard Cider Mix
1 Packet Dry Hard Cider Yeast
1 Packet No-Rinse Cleanser
YOU WILL NEED:
1 1/2 Cups of Granular Sugar
Step 1: Sanitizing
Follow the steps outlined in the INSTRUCTIONS THAT CAME WITH YOUR KIT. (You can find a downloadable version of these instructions under the "Help" link located in the upper right corner of this website.)
Step 2: Brewing with Cider
It typically takes a minimum of seven days at room temperature to ferment your cider. Due to variances in temperature, yeast vitality, and age of mix, FERMENTATION MAY TAKE LONGER (10-14 days).
2.1. Fill keg with cold water to the 4-quart mark on the back.
2.2. Using a sanitized measuring cup, place 4 cups of water into a clean 3-quart pot.
2.3. Bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in hard cider mix and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar into pot, mix thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved (this mixture is called the must).
2.4. Pour must into keg. Bring the volume of the keg to the 8.5-quart mark by adding more cold water. Stir vigorously to mix well.
2.5. Sprinkle yeast into keg and ALLOW TO SIT FOR 5 MINUTES. Stir vigorously again, then screw on lid.
2.6. Place keg out of direct sunlight, in a location with a consistent temperature between 73°-81° F.
ALLOW TO SIT A MINIMUM OF 7 DAYS.
CAUTION: DO NOT OPEN THE BREW KEG LID AT ANY TIME DURING FERMENTATION; THIS CAN CAUSE HARD CIDER SPOILAGE.
Step 3: Bottling/Carbonating
Follow the steps outlined in the INSTRUCTIONS THAT CAME WITH YOUR KIT. (You can find a downloadable version of these instructions under the "Help" link located in the upper right corner of this website.)
