2 Minute Brew Review - Mangrove Jacks Craft Series Pear Cider

Mangrove Jacks Craft Series Pear Cider Review in 2 minutes (ish).
We cover the finished product, the kit itself and special instructions or other ingredients you need to get this brew fermenting.
The Mangrove Jacks Pear cider packet says 'From the juiciest pears comes the best pear cider. This cider has a sweet mellow pear flavour which satisfies any thirst.'
And you won't find us disagreeing. Super easy brew to make with a crisp and clean finish.
One of my favourite attributes of the Mangrove Jacks Cider range is that they are drinkable after 10-days in the bottle. Plus the pear cider and Mangrove Jacks cider range in general are easy crowd pleasers.

I've tried making cider from apple juice but might try this. One thing I've noticed is it doesn't seem to carbonate in the bottle very well , not sure why .

Interesting you say this. One of the next videos I am going to make is using Apple Juice. For my reference do you mind me asking if you used priming priming sugar and what did you use for priming sugar? Also did you ferment with white sugar or use dextrose?

@@homebrewrepublic1993 I just used 3 litres 100% apple juice in a 5L demi , added some fruit syrup (cherry), 1 litre water, checked the ABV (1.040, didn't want it too strong) and thats it. Cider yeast. Fermented fine to 1.050 so about 4.5%. Carbonation drops in the bottles and back sweetened with a non-fermentable sweetener. Tasted fine but a little flat. Will try force carb it next time :-)
