CIDER AGAINNN.....

[jean-yves]

It's the cider season and the apples are on the ground, next week we're going to collect about 2 tonnes of apples B)

last week I've been at a cider-session all day learning how to improve the method of making cider, it's very interesting and I've learnt many things, at the end of the day we've taste some cider :rolleyes:

hope my cider will be better this year

Saturday we've collected 2.5 tonnes of apples with my friends and thre's still about 1 tonne to do in 2 weeks

this week I'm going to clean all the material to be ready to make the cider on the week 45.

apples are not ready to be press, I've to wait that all the starch is convert to sugar

That's a lot of apples, JY!

I hope everything goes to plan.

I've still apples to pick, I think to get about 3-3.5 tonnes
it could give me about 330 gallons of cider B) , my cider press is not very powerful (1T give 50% of wort=500ltr) normally with a bigger one it must give about 60-65%

It'll take two weeks to do it! well in fact we aren't working all the time, we can stop and have a little drink :stun

that's really strange Jim, I've sent some to my friend in the same way on the same day and he recieved it very well

I think you'll have to wait that we finish our web site next month

I wanted to send you some pictures of my brewery and equipements. It could be good to see the brewery of the others members
