Cider Update

It's crystal clear & the colour of a darker white wine. It smells earthy & of apples. It's dry & tart but not harshly acidic. It has a warming alcohol finish & it's streets ahead of any cider we have made so far. This one is actually & genuinely good. And at 6% ABV it doesn't need an artificial boost.

Symposium 2

We've tried the beer, the Christmas beer & we've now started on the bottles. It could get messy.

Symposium 1

We are sitting in the semi dark listening to music & drinking beer. It's Cottleigh Tawny Bitter on steroids. 6.2% ABV. All too drinkable. As there's only half the group turned up it's not a big tragedy that the keg leaked & we lost half the beer.

BAD News

The BAD news is that we have a slow puncture & less than half of our beer left. However I have bought a case of interesting British beer & we have Xmas beer (a sight sour note from the cherries, could do with a bit longer conditioning but definitely drinkable). We won't go thirsty.

BAD Apple Day

Last Sunday was apple pressing day for the BAD group.  There was a good turnout but I was too busy to sort out Blogger to post on here.

Better late than never, here are the photos.

Racking

It's taken a while to ferment out but it tastes like a half decent best bitter. And some members of the BAD group won't be disappointed by the accidental ABV.
