uh oh - too much cider!
uh oh - too much cider!
have this weekend shoved all the apples from my two trees on the allotment through the machinery and most of the apples from th tree at work.
9 gallons at OG 1.050 chugging away nicely.
then i had the bright idea of getting in touch with a local farm that i know has an orchard and yes, i can take away a healthy portion of those apples.
that should be another 15-20 gallons
then someone from work tells me that a friend of theirs has an orchard of 15-20 trees and would like to see the apples not go to waste.
that's a hell of a lot more cider - easily 20 gallons....
oh sh1t
i'm going to need more vessels, another shed, a longer weekend, a more patient wife,....
no really - oh sh1t!!!
oh - and WTF am i going to do with it all??? completely bonkers!

it was quite good wasn't it
I'm fairly convinced I can cope if my neighbour gives me the half dozen 5 gallon pressure barrels he has just bought for biofuel (so far unused) and if i do the primary fermentation in my 50L mashtun AND my 50L boiler AND those 2 fermentors you gave me AND ...
let's just hope those neighbourly pressure barrels are reasonably sound
You up for the fambridge haul Mike?
