It also worth noting these following tips to ensure you get the most out of your brew. Make sure that the cap is not removed during the brewing process Where possible, try not to move your box before drinking. And, don’t overfill your box! Remember, less is more. Are you planning on holding barbecues all summer long or even planning on a party? This would be ideal and very cost effective too. Come the winter months, you can also try mulling your cider. Tap it out into a pan, add cinnamon, a slice of orange studded with two cloves and a
teaspoon of maple syrup. Warm through and enjoy in front of a fire while it snows outside. Lovely! The perfect drink for all year round. No mess, no fuss, no keeping a home brew distillery in the back shed or kitchen either. What's inside the Box? All you need to do is add water. Everything else is provided. Inside the box are strawberries, raspberries and elderberry. Resting on top of the cap is the yeast sachet. And on top of the box is a handy funnel so that you can keep your box dry. So how Does it Work? The sugar in the fruit begins a process called fermentation once yeast is added. The yeast acts as an enzyme and helps convert the sugars into ethanol (alcohol) and carbon dioxide. For the budding scientists amongst us, the equation is below - Sugar -> Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide.
The carbon dioxide bubbles out of the liquid into the air and is released through the valve at the top of your cider. Fermentation is a complicated process, which can be disrupted by a number of things such as temperature change or contamination. Imagine your cider as a delicate rose, just waiting to blossom – any contamination may damage the taste of your wonderful drink before it has had a chance to develop properly. It really is essential to keep everything clean (including the valve on the top) to stop any nasty bacteria getting inside the box, which might spoil the great taste of Victor’s. Victor's Drinks History As the brainchild of a university student from a sleepy rural village, Victor’s Drinks has been in the pipes since way back in 2009. Officially launched
in September, it’s the same team now who started back then. Having decided that off-shelf drinks were boring, and home brew kits were too much hassle, we embarked upon making something that makes cider making easy. We called it easy to make cider. Everyone knows if you want something right, you have to do it yourself.
