Wilkinsons has a cider yeast. I didn't notice until a few weeks ago. Though you could probably get a packet from Crossmyloof delievered for the same price.

Get 10 x 1 litre bottles of Red Grape Juice and follow the video in this thread substituting 1.5 litres of apple juice for the orange juice and a litre of Red Grape Juice for the White grape juice.

The videos are in this thread (first post) the recipe is below (also in the first post in the thread linked to below)

In all fairness: apple juice is nice, save half of it for summer and drink it? And the other half needs sugar, yeast and tea and could become apple wine/cider. I read somewhere that ale yeast with low attenuation can leave some sugar residu in the juice, making it not bone dry. Just my 2 pence.

Standard TC recipe. For 15L of juice, that would be half a teaspoon of tannin, half a teaspoon of yeast nutrient, two desert spoons of malic acid and a couple of spoonful's of sugar. Mix the dry ingredients together thoroughly so that the tannin doesn't clump and add to an FV with your juice. add wine/cider yeast and let it go. If you don't want it to blow your socks off, you can let that out with up to 3l of water without risking having it go off in the bottle.

If you are making the wine i linked to above its approximately 7 days for fermentation (less as our hoses warm up in summer) then two days for clearing.
