Cider

So, who is pressing this years crop?

Hopefully my boss is doing 40-50 gallons this week. I'll post up the pictures afterwards.

I have a press, been putting off manufacture for the last five years, maybe this year is the year.

[alex_m]

do it. or sell me the press

[High Scale]

Sell it? No way! I need to source a good variety of apples, I have been offered all the cookers I can carry but I'm not sure how the cider would turn out, maybe a little bitter? Perhaps a mix of variety's would do the job?

Keep meaning to do something with this lot every year, still haven't got beyond eating them

 

5 years and no pressing ! methinks you need a kick up the old proverbial Carl.

Wicked, wicked stuff that does terrible things both to your body and soul.

First thing I ever got seriously p*issed on, what I was drinking when I last got involved in a fight, and what I'd been drinking when I threw up whilst we were all posing for a family photo. Even the smell of it now makes me urge.

Incidentally, you do realise that the men in that photo are all in their early 20s?

Thats what cider does to you!

haha, i was wondering when i'd get the first anti-cider comment!

i find that im less likely to throw up with proper cider than beer, lager, spirits etc.

Special Brew and cider snake bites Carl?

here's a few pictures of this years folly....

the apples are from an old, abandoned apple orchard behind my house. i had to make a tunnel through a 20 metre thick bramble bush to get to it!
