- no idea what they are, I filled a carrier bag of them when out walking the dog in the countryside. They're a bit small at about 2inches, taste sweet but sharp as well. Hmmm. They were left in the garage for a couple weeks before they were crushed using the wifes food processor with the potato ricer doo dah. I then hand squeezed the pulp, not ideal but this is only a test really and put the juice into the fermenting vessel with a light sprinkle of Youngs cider yeast. This is how it looks after 6 weeks:
sorry for image quality, used the phone's camera. Incidently, the bottle in the background is "village" cider - a few blokes in the local pub have so many apple trees in their gardens that this year they decided to have a bash at making cider. I think they got about 300litres from about 3/4 of a ton of apples, basically any apples they had. I've not tasted it, yet .......
Last night I transferred my cider into secondary:
and of course had a little taste
a sort of medium-dry but will be left for as long as possible. Not exactly a conventional way to do cider but so far so good.Cheers,
