Equipment and Juice

By buying your equipment via the links provided, you provide a monetary kick back to Cider Chat at no extra cost to YOU.

  • Fresh pressed apple juice - try to find a cider mill that has on hand fresh pressed juice!
  • Carboy - A carboy or some sanitized vessel to hold the juice, with enough room for it to ferment and not bubble over.
  • Airlock - The airlock helps release carbon dioxide (CO2) and keep out Oxygen!
    • The 1 piece, S-curved airlock design comes with a stopper.
    • Stoppers and Airlocks buy as one unit

Juice Options to Make Cider

  • Pick your own apples and press on site
  • Buy fresh pressed juice from a cider mill
  • Buy a gallon of juice at the grocery story - not top quality, but not a bad start to see if you want to go full in on making cider as a hobby.
