ENJOYING YOUR HARD CIDER!
After your hard cider has carbonated or you decided to make a still cider,
good news, it’s ready to drink! However, you can improve the flavor by
bottle conditioning your cider. This can be done a couple ways:
A. Warm conditioning: Keep your bottles in a dark, dry location away from
sunlight and maintain a temperature between 50°- 70° F for several
weeks to a month.
B. Cold conditioning: Place your bottles in the refrigerator for several
weeks to a month.
Whether or not you choose to bottle condition your cider, it will always
taste better after chilling in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours. Then
it’s time to call your friends!
CARING FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT
Nobody likes dirty equipment, especially your cider. Here are some basic
tips to ensure your equipment is ready for the next batch:
1. Disassemble and clean your equipment promptly after using.
2. Always wash and rinse your equipment using a mild unscented soap.
3. Avoid anything that can scratch the inside surface of your fermenter.
4. Discontinue using equipment that is scratched and/or cracked. Bacteria
can hide in the smallest areas and could spoil your next batch.

ASSEMBLY NOTES:
1. Add plugs to base legs first, then twist legs into the base.
2. Tap: Washer goes on the outside of the fermenter. Hand-tighten
nut and test for leaks before making your hard cider.
