And now for something completely different, "No. 139" Dry Cider (from Wölffer in the Hamptons, Long Island, NY). This is the white. They have others.

Memorial Day beckons.Welcome to summer. Convenient half-bottle size with a slightly tart, green-apple edge, just a touch of fizz and a crisp finish. This style is great for warm weather! That small size with a twist-off cap adds versatility. My box had inserts to carry a four-pack around. A case of 12 was about $50. 6.9% alc.

Made what will probably be my last trip to the park and got another 10kg or so of windfall apples. The plan is cider, of course. Still enough crabs on my crab apple tree to add in for tannin etc.

I have a bit of a plan here. I only have one carboy left, and I think I'll get more juice than it can hold by some margin. But. The "first run", ie the first pressing before you really start squeezing, is generally higher in sugar. So that's what I'll fill the carboy with, for a special high alcohol batch. Then I'll just take the rest and freeze it for topping carboys later as and when I require it. Of course in freezing one can also concentrate juice somewhat...

I'm getting more equipment for cider making. Yesterday, I racked a couple of my first experiments into 1 gallon glass jugs. I sanitized everything, took specific gravity readings, and had a taste (tastes amazing so far). Shout-out to all the YouTube videos that show how easy it is to make your own hard cider. I'll probably be bottling these in a week or two, and starting new batches in the meantime.
