Apple Day 2013

Different apples this time after our huge, very old, apple tree keeled over earlier in the year.  The main tree we have left, held on to all it's apples for ages, so here we are in November - and inside.

Can't work out what kind of apples these are - they're very sweet, but look like huge cookers.  We actually read some instructions this time round though, and have added some extra yeast and tested it with a hydrometer, so we should know how alcoholic it is when we force it on everyone.

We ended up with 13 litres of juice, so 26(ish) pints of cider/vinegar to look forward to. The learning curve on cider-making is (for us) a very gentle incline :)

Last time.
