We've a few apple trees and there are loads more in neighbouring gardens. Although I do enjoy eating apples it can get boring when you are faced with several hundred of the buggers. Hence my intention to purchase a press from the nice people at Vigo.

I then intend to make alcoholic liquid gold.....CIDER to you mortals!!
Is it a complex exercise?
Do I need to pre book a place at the Betty Ford Clinic?
Will I go blind?
You can't all be teetotallers so advise please in your own time.

I have to admit that I didn't drink cider for about 15 years after a serious chundering bout as a teenager. Cider and black was all the rage then (pint of cider with a splash of blackcurrent cordial)
Bulmers/Magners doesn't really hit the spot. What you need is some good old fashioned murky stuff.
One of my faves:

I can't even satnd a mouthful of cider. The first time I every really got drunk, on a camping trip, I knocked back four cans of Bulmers and blacked out. |

my mum bought us as a house warming present a book about how to make cider from scratch.
we haven't progressed beyond reading it yet, but it's definitely on my 5 year plan to start making my own cider.
all i can say, thank god for polio! brian |
