I tried this kit a couple of years ago. I have to say that I was not too happy with it. I found the Magnum Cider kit way better in bot quality and price.

malolactic fermentation will occur also in the bottle provided that they are store at the right temperature (17 degrees)

I do not disgorge Cider. I actually enjoy some sediment and cloudiness as I think it gives the brew a more traditional look!

There are many posts on the forum about ginger beers. If you use the search on the top right corner (right below the Simply Hops banner) you should be able to filter all the posts including the type of brew that you are trying to find!
