Apple cider is good... Not pear (or part pear/part apple). Agree with Unsoundbwoy though. They each have their benefits. Cider doesn't bloat as much.

montiefs pear cider. tasted too much like apple cider + fail. do not want

I like cider, it is easy to drink, too easy infact!

Sunny afternoon, fish & chip and cider on the beach = good option!
Cider in the back garden during summer = good option!
Cider in the park = good option!
Cider in general = good option!

its really easy to make your own cider at home...

go to supermarket and get 20L's of preservative free apple juice, throw it all in a fermenter (after you have cleaned and sterilsed it) (you will have to buy one from a brew shop, a 20L plastic "pail" type bucket would do as well), add a packet of yeast (beer yeast or champagne yeast, not bakers yeast), let it ferment for 14 days, bottle it in 750ml bottles and add a teaspoon of normal suguar to each botlles and then 2 weeks after that you have a delicious cider.

can also use a mix of apple/pear juice....80% and 20% works well.

seems too easy, do you have to periodically stir it?
How do you sterilize the bucket, just boiling water?

Don't take it personally, at the time you were the only female who had posted in the thread, and you generally take a joke like a champion.

It is to easy to do. Tastes better than brought cider too (imo)

No stiring involved at all, repeat DO NOT STIR

Yes you will have to sterilise the bottles to. Go to a supermarket and buy a tub of NO NAME UNSCENTED napisan, rinse bottles and soak them in this then just rinse with water and let them dry. Childs play Al.

Nice one guvner, i'd never buy cider, but making it i can see myself doing!
Now to find non preservative apple juice, wonder what cloudy apple juice would be like...
And i could put all kinds of stuff in there too couldn't I, like whole mangos, I'd just have to strain it on the way out?

5 seeds is. we are in bed with tooheys i think.

and bulmers is in bottles and if people want a good cider, they will buy it, whereas if they just want cider over beer, they will buy 5 seeds pot/pint/jug which is cheaper.

well, the non alcohol snobs will anyhow hehehe
