You only need what's mentioned on the instructions - I would leave tweaking until you have a few brews under your belt.

One easy tweak that won't compromise your brew is to use less water if its. 40 pt make a 32 pt mix

fair play. as long as im not going to encounter any problems from not having the right bits and bobs im happy. thanks again klaus :

The readymade kits have everything you need in them to make a good clear/nice tasting cider (but nothing beats cider made from apples that you've pressed) as Anthony said. there may be instructions to make it so your kit will be stronger.. adding less water it one step towards this.. or adding more sugar. do you have a hydrometer?

Cheers
