Cider......

[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.....

@mclaincausey said in Cider......:

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.

At a lovely little Tabac in Port Louis....

@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.

Not too fizzy and all pretty clean and dry. None of the regular restaurant ones are that strong (maybe 4.5%), but the one we bought from Tabac (and made out the back), packed a punch. Nothing too funky yet either....

Dammmmm…I’ll make a visit to Brittany a TOP PRIORITY after seeing all these cider possibilities.
This forum is bad influence on several fronts, all of them boiling down to wallet blows.

@Giles how many cases are you bringing back for the party?

[Giles]

Tending towards zero - we have a channel to cross

[Tago Mago]

@Giles I figured. Still worth a try though
