Making a kit Apple Cider

[daggers_nz]

Hi I'm an all-grain brewer wanting a simple process to make a great cider for my family.. Something similar to Bulmers would be ideal as they are British. I was thinking that this kit http://www.blackrock.co.nz/brew-kits/item/31-apple-cider and 1.5kg dextrose would be suitable? Does it need to be boiled in a few litres of water and finings added? I will also be using a champagne yeast and not the ****ty kit yeasts. Will I need to add anything to enhance flavour/cut tartness etc?

I think Graham's English Cider is the way to go for a good imitation of a British cider. The advantage is that you use store-bought apple juice. Take note though that the recipe uses ale yeast and not wine/champagne yeast in order to produce a cider that is not bone dry.
