Well, it's been a
long time since my last post on here! Honestly, life has a way of
interrupting all the fun of simple living sometimes! It's been a busy
and intense couple of years with a few changes - the biggest being
giving up our allotments. It was a difficult decision but the right one I
think.
Anyway, onto this
post ... it's the apple harvesting time of year again! When we gave up
the allotment, we (ahem, okay, A) moved all the (many!) fruit bushes and
fruit trees into our garden, except our beloved goldengage tree.
They've all taken well and the apple harvest this year has been
wonderful! We still couldn't resist scrumping a few too though ;-)
There are currently a couple of demijohns of Cripple Tipple bubbling ferociously in the kitchen with more planned. We used the usual recipe
but did one demijohn with regular cider yeast and the other with turbo
wine yeast. It will be interesting to see the difference between them ..
taste, strength ... any excuse for scientific cider drinking! ;-)
