Product Description

Brick Road Apple Cider

Craft a bright, refreshing cider bursting with authentic New Zealand apple character. This kit is made from 100% Central Otago cider apples, grown in one of the most renowned fruit-producing regions in the world. The result? A clean, crisp cider base with natural acidity, subtle orchard aroma, and a satisfying dry finish that’s seriously drinkable.

Whether you love your cider sharp and traditional, or plan to add fruit for a modern craft twist, this brew is designed to deliver a pure apple foundation you can build on. Keep it classic, blend in real fruit, or explore flavour sachets like berry, peach, tropical or citrus — this cider plays well with creativity.

Expect a smooth fermentation and a bright, smashable cider that’s perfect chilled on a warm day. Once bottled or kegged, carbonation lifts the apple character beautifully, giving you a fresh, sessionable cider you’ll want to keep on hand year-round.

ABV (approx): 4-5.5% (Depending on final volume and dextrose quantity)

Additional Fermentables Required

To make this brew, you’ll need to a fermentable AND yeast.

Fermentables

Option One: Dry style Apple Cider
Use 1KG Dextrose.

Option Two: Medium Cider
For more sweetness, smoother body and better head retention, use 1.2KG Premium Blend Full over straight dextrose.

Yeast

Yeast is not included and is required to make this product.

Use 10g of Quality Cider Yeast.

Optional Extras

Boost your brew with these recommended extras for better flavour, fermentation, and finish:

Making Sweet Cider
Add 100-500grams of Brewing Lactose.

Note: If you are using Lactose to make a sweet cider, use straight dextrose only. We do not recomend using the Premium Dextrose Blends in combination with lactose.

Yeast Nutrients
Add yeast nutrient to support a healthy fermentation, ensuring your yeast performs at its best for full attenuation and a consistent result.

Finings
For crystal-clear beer, use finings in the final 24–48 hours before bottling. This helps remove sediment, improves flavour stability, and gives your lager a polished, professional look.
