'''Cider''' is a primarily player made alcoholic drink which players can make via [[brewing]] with level 14 [[Cooking]]. A complete batch of cider grants 182 [[experience]] points. As brewing takes several days, players can also obtain this item at the underground pub: [[Esoterican Arms]] under the [[Miscellania]] castle, which requires partial completion of [[Royal Trouble]] to access. It can also be purchased from the [[Grand Exchange]]. When drunk, Cider heals 20 [[life points]], and gives a temporary boost to the players [[Farming]] level by 1, at the price of lowering both [[Attack]] and [[Strength]] by 2, similar to all other brews in RuneScape.

The full recipe for '''Cider''' is as follows (<u>''in the order given''</u>):
#16 [[Cooking apples]]
#4 [[Buckets]]
#Create 4 buckets of [[Apple mush]], using the [[Apple barrel]] located near the vats
#'''DO NOT ADD WATER TO THE VAT'''
#Add 4 buckets of [[Apple mush]] to the [[Fermenting vat]].
#Add 1 [[Ale yeast|Ale Yeast]]
#Wait two to five days
#Collect the completed ale using eight [[Beer glass|Beer Glasses]] or two [[Calquat keg|Calquat Kegs]]*.
*[[Calquat keg]]s are highly recommended, especially if the ale has matured. Simply by collecting the ale in a keg, the value of the batch will increase by several thousand coins.

==Making the ''Mush''==

This is done by using the [[Apple barrel]] found near the [[Fermenting vat]]s. Add cooking apples to the barrel (this must be done in sets of 4) to crush the apples. The players character will do quite an amusing dance as he/she tramples the apples in the bucket down to a pulp, then the now aptly named [[Apple mush]] is collected into a bucket. To make cider the player will need 4 buckets of mush, requiring a total of 16 cooking apples overall.

==Getting the yeast==

[[Ale yeast]] is sold by an NPC found at either one of the [[fermenting vat]]s. It can be purchased for 25 [[coins]] or 5 [[ectotokens]] (remember your [[amulet of ghostspeak]]!), depending on which vat the player is at. The NPC's sell only the yeast, not the container, so the player will need a pot in your inventory. Luckily there is an empty pot spawn in the brewery at [[Keldagrim]]. Players do not necessarily need to fetch their own yeast, it is tradeable and can be purchased on the Grand Exchange, however the trade price is about 5x more than what it costs from the NPC.

==Uses==

Five glasses of Cider are required for an easy [[Seers' Village Tasks|Seers' Village task]], which can be problematic as they usually buy slowly on the Grand exchange, being a rather obscure and difficult to obtain item. Players setting their sights on this task will need to plan ahead and either have a batch brewed or launch their offer on the exchange before they plan to actually complete it.

This drink also featured in Construction; players can make cider barrels at level 12 Construction. To do so, the player must have 8 glasses of cider (Calquat kegs won't work), 3 planks and 3 nails in your inventory. A barrel of cider gives an infinite supply of cider, unfortunately it cannot be taken outside the POH (it vanishes).

It is one of the older items in the game that gives a farming boost of 1. Players can use this item to start valuable fruit trees or other crops that they are just under the level for, saving a lot of time and effort. This item can also be used as a boost to meet some quest requirements. However a [[Garden pie]] will boost farming by 3, this is made using the [[Cooking]] skill. Many newer items will also give a [[Farming#Temporary_boosts|temporary boost]].

==See also==
Cider, when player made, has a chance of turning out as [[Mature cider]] which has slightly stronger effects then regular cider. It is usually more expensive then standard cider.
