Yes there is although it's probably not the quality you're after. It's using Oztops which I got for $25 from eBay. Only a few steps to it: 1. Buy preservative free juice from the shop. Grape, apple/blackcurrent, apple, apple/pear all work well. 2. Remove lid, take out some juice (if I buy a 2.4L...

Yep I'm aware, trying to get a reply from Terry08 who has probably perfected this type of brewing. To no avail it would seem.

I've only started too but am getting very different results. The instructions told me to get some apple juice, add some sugar and yeast and leave in for 2 days between 20-30 degrees Celsius. 2 days later, I store it in the fridge, wait 24 hours and have cider at approximately 4-5%. I...
