Yeast

Nutrient
Fermax Yeast Nutrient
Apple juice is low in the nitrogen yeast needs. A pinch of this blend of proteins, amino acids and vitamins helps the fermentation start quickly and finish cleanly. 1 lb.
Sanitizer
Star San
Everything that touches your cider needs to be sanitized. Star San is a no-rinse, foaming acid sanitizer — mix with water, coat, let it drip. Odorless and flavorless at the recommended dilution. 32 oz bottle.
Fermenter
North Mountain Supply 1-Gallon Jug
A one-gallon glass jug with a drilled rubber stopper, airlock and screw cap — the right size for a first batch. Fill it with juice, add yeast, and let the airlock do its thing.
