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.
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.
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.
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.
Scrumpy!!
