Looking for apple juice for cider.

[Marek2200]

Hi there,

I wonder if you have ever made cider from real apple juice? I am going to make cider but I have no idea from where can I get good quality apple juice suitable for making it. Do you know any local farm or orchard where I can buy apple juice (co. Limerick, Tipperary, Clare)?

thanx in advance

Fresh apple juice is seasonal! It won't have survived until this time of year without, e.g., pasteurization. There's usually a group buy in autumn of each year. It's well worth getting some. Last year it was about 32 euro with delivery per 25 l drum. I think you need to be a full member to participate.

Best way to do it! The thread is here if you want to read up on it, Marek. http://www.nationalhomebrewclub.ie/forum/index.php/topic,10796.0.html

Why not cut your "cider teeth" on a Turbo Cider?

This uses Lidl apple juice at €1 a litre.

It will help show you how to make a drinkable cider in time for this summer!

Just search the forum for Turbo Cider!

Last year Get'er'Brewed had some pasteurised fresh juice available, or you might be able to find fresh, frozen.

Con Traas in the apple farm Tipp is the closest to you, the NHC bought 3,000l last year, later in year is best time to buy because juice is fresh.

Thanks guys.

So the only time for buying fresh juice is autumn?

@CH

I have found Con Trass during my interent searching. Thanks. If I understand you well, you are buying juice as a community not as an individual? How can I became full member?

top right of your screen

Have a look in the members area once you have joined up and you can see pricing and how apple juide group buy was organised etc.

Still approach him, it just wont be as fresh, he may have some available

Traas' make their own cider as well and it's really good. It well worth calling in there during the summer or autumn if passing.

They have apples all year round stored under nitro, quality product not cheap but quality does cost

thanks for help!
