@endo said in Cider......:

I love cider as long as it cold and dry (brut), and a sunny day outside.

100% agree

We have a handful of great cider operations in the pacific northwest

That’ll do nicely

I remember ( although hazily ) spending a week driving around the southern shires down country lanes finding the scrumpy farmers and their cider, scrumpy at 9am tastes nice but makes driving difficult

[louisbosco]

does bulmers or strongbow count in this?

[Giles]

Does Coors count in the beer thread?

[pechelman]

Apfelwein anyone?
Surprised to find an authentic one made here in the states! Picked this up on a trip to Oregon a while back and enjoying on a hot day here in the north west.

@Giles How are you two enjoying your travels and does anything stand out? Would you make a yearly pilgrimage to any specific location? From this end it looks quite enjoyable.

[Giles]

Loving it. Quite challenging because the weather is iffy, so we have had to stay at places longer than we would have chosen to. But that is sailing, and it's actually nice not to give a shit about anything....We will def come back to all of the places we have so far been.....

seal in glass, store in a cool place, wait a week or two.

@mclaincausey Seal in glass, but please use an airlock! Glass and sealed pressure are a bad combination.

@Giles has there been a common flavor profile in these ciders? Also, do you have a preferred flavor profile? Thinking dryness/sweetness, effervescence, funkiness, etc. also curious about the gravity; guessing these have some body to them.

When I get off the water wagon in a couple of months I’m going to drink lots of cider.

I like them dry and sometimes funky, sometimes effervescent personally.
