2023 Cider Buy Is Open

Once again Gnome Brew will be heading up to Michigan to pick up fresh pressed, unpasteurized apple cider for you. Join us for our favorite Fall tradition--brew some hard cider from the best source you'll find and get some extra to drink fresh!
This year we have two blends! A standard blend and a heritage blend. Both are
- Fresh pressed
- Unpasteurized with no preservatives
- An award winning blend of cider apples
- Perfect for making hard cider or drinking fresh
Brewing cider is easy, even for those with no experience.

2. Choose Your Yeast
3. Add A Yeast Nutrient And Sulfite
It's strongly recommended to add yeast nutrient and sulfites.
For a healthy low sulfur fermentation use yeast nutrient. Add sulfites to your cider if you desire a 'clean' fermentation. We recommend dosing your cider with 1 crushed campden tablet per gallon, stirring, covering and waiting 24 hours before pitching yeast. Then add 1 gram Fermaid K per gallon along with your yeast.
