borderman45 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 I love cider and it must be one of the oldest forms of alchoholic drink in this country but it also must be one of the most reinvented, just when it was struggling this last time they decided to throw some ice in it !

garethstroud 0 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 Looks amazing. You can't beat proper cider No offence to anyone who drinks strongbow, magners or most ciders available in supermarkets (and I do myself sometimes) it's rubbish compared to the proper stuff! Where can I get hold of a few gallons of this? If I were you, I'd be helping him as much as I could Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spudlington 3 Posted October 22, 2008 Report Share Posted October 22, 2008 mmmm!! Lovely! I made my own "traditional" cider from my apples for the first time last year, i'm addicted and want the proper equipment but i'll have to make do with my small fruit-press for now. Does anyone have any experience of using garden shredders etc for chopping up apples before pressing?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
