Youngs have just created a new cider kit (June 2024) in their Harvest range of kits, so being a cider lover, I thought I would give it a go.
It’s an easy kit to make just like all the other single can cider kits.
They dont explain its flavour profile, so we needed to make one so we could put an accurate description on our website.
It didnt take long to make and we bottled it in just 10 days. Now to wait for it to bottle condition for a few weeks and ideally months so it can reach its full flavour potential.
Unlike some other kits, there are no sweeteners or flavour enhancers in this kit, which I tend not to use anyway. Sometimes a little sweetener if its for a party and friends will be drinking it.
So all you need for this kit is 1kg of sugar and water.
Let me know in the comments if you have made this kit. Did you go to 32 pints or 40 pints? How did yours turn out?
We’ll make a tasting video very soon, once its had time to bottle condition.
Cheers and happy brewing

Great video guys, looking forward to seeing the end result
Us too!
I find adding cooking apple peels makes the cider more appely and sharper
Yep - apple peel it very appley. weird that! - hahaha
@@Brewbitz I have an allotment and my neighbour has an apple tree that grows huge apples. Don't know what variety they are. He does not like apples and let's me have them. They make the most amazing tasting cider (& pies & Apple Sauce, Jam) i have ever made. Really tasty they are. Looking forward to making another 50 litres of it again this autumn
@anjkovo2138 cant beat a real cider!
Would love you to do a review of the finished drink . Iv made 3 cider kits , a mangrove jack and a john bull and found thrm very thin with no body, just waiting to try the bulldog kit i did last month . I normally make real apple cider but we had no apples last year so had to cheat with some kits😂😂
Hi. I will! Cider kits can be a bit thin. So try reducing the quantity, or try making the 2 can kits and no added sugar.
Also if you compare them to commercial cider that has been back sweetened with sugar, they will feel thinner as the sugar they add ads a thickness to the finished cider. Commercial cider makers add the co2 at the point of bottling and usually pasteurise the cider so there is nothing to eat the sugar they add. Not easy to do for a homebrewer.
Thanks for your reply , I will definitely try reducing the amount of water 👍
i had to laugh at that label. i had the same issue on a tin is this just yesterday and butchered the instructions :}
Yep, they can be a pain. Even though I only look if its a new kit just in case there is a different process, but usually its the same method.
Hi quick question. Just racked my cider from bucket to keg and I noticed the sediment had little spots in it. Is that normal? The cider tasted fine and there’s nothing I can see wrong with the actual cider itself. It’s just sediment look odd…. Any ideas or am I just being a drama queen :)
Hi. If it looked a bit like a crumpet, with little holes in it, its normal. Thats co2 bubbles popping as the pressure of the cider above reduces, it means the co2 bubbles can rise out of the sediment. I think it looks pretty cool.
@@Brewbitz Thanks for your quick reply! :) It’s my first time using a king keg… so hopefully all is well. Keep up the good work guys! Love your content :)
No worries. Happy brewing.
