Brewsy Custom Cider Making Set

After doing a good Apple pressing, why wouldn’t you make some Hard cider from all your own Hard work? Brewzy made it easy, fun, and the end product was delicious. The four pack was very reasonably priced so we can try different flavors.

Did not work at all. I am a brewer and have made my own ciders many times. I thought this kit would make it easier. Neither packet of yest worked. Upon inspection of the 2nd packet it had arrived with and expitation date of 2/25 (but a sticker had been placed over it so I suspect the yeast was actually already expired. I ordered this in Dec. and used it in January. I am very dissappointed I followed the directions exactly and neither cider brewed there was no fermatation and I suspect it was due to old exired yeast. A waste of money. Just buy champagne yeast dont want your money on this kit.

I like the idea of this but was having some issues using the site and app. There are many questions asked waiting for replies, some of which would’ve helped us. I had to Google what I was looking for to find it on the web page because navigating to find things is not straightforward. It reminded me of a platform that has been built upon at different times and things get lost. You attempt to go to a page and it isn’t there. When you ask a question and you do get an answer you’re not sure who is answering to know to trust it. An “expert”, “employee” or “moderator” badge designation attached would be nice for confidence. The overflow freaked me out a bit and a troubleshooting guide would be another good thing to go to as getting answers is not timely. The finished flavor is interesting and cloudy. For our first go we’ll call it a win, not at all sure if we did anything right though with directions geared towards someone with perhaps previous knowledge. Directions were not well written and at times had you adding things that were not suggested in the list of ingredients or did not tell you an actual temperature. Used cranberry juice to make what I’m not sure is cider or carbonated wine.

We have two rows of Concord grape 🍇 vines in our yard. We have juiced the grapes and froze the juice. We always said that someday we would make 🍷 wine. When I saw Brewsy I thought this is our opportunity. We ordered the starter kit. We were so excited for it to come, we were making wine that very day. 10 days later we bottled our wine. It is delicious! I am sure the “traditional “ method may yield a better wine. The truth it, I doubt I would notice. If you have been “thinking about it”, think no more. Put thoughts into action. It’s Easy Peasy!

I've been using brewsy for years so make my own cider or white wine. It usually is about 15% alcohol and I make it in 1.5 gallon batches. It's super easy. I make it in a 3 gallon water jug and I have to add a little plastic wrap to the top and cut a small hole in it so the top piece fits. Then I just leave it a week or so and after a couple days in the fridge, it's done! I do rack it a few times to make sure there's no gunk left in the bottom, but that's pretty much it. I also like to save at least a third of each batch for a year to see how it ages and it definitely improves with time.
