I'll have a look at that one thanks

I personally don't rate the mass produced Rattler..

Westons is very decent... can't beat some authenticity though...

Henry Weston’s vintage. They also do Addlestons  draught in my local . That’s not a bad drop either , you don’t want too much of that though.

Perrys used to be excellent.you had a choice of 20 different ciders all in wooden barrels.take a shot glass and sample what you want.

Now there's a choice of 4 with most now bottled.

Mrs perry was my old school teacher.

It’s normally around about 1055 to 1058 ABV ( alcohol by volume ) when I first chuck the hydrometer in after pressing,  and after it’s all fermented out it returns about 6% but it varies year to year depending how much fructose the fruit is holding, I only do enough for myself to tick over during the summer I’ve been making it for years with my trusty Vigo press.

Theres some good threads in the living off the land section Mole trapper used to make a lot and I’ve put up some pics from start to finish it’s a very satisfying hobby albeit hard graft.
