I’m making a still Scrumpy style cider with it. I’ve racked it into a new fv and added some fermentation stopper. It’s out in the cold now and I’m bottling tomorrow. Smells and tastes very good. OG was 1.064 and FG 1.002 so I’m looking at abv 8.4%. Looking forward to trying it.

Yeah, Cawston Press:laugh8: I’m going to blame autocorrect for that one. I made 10l, just Apple juice - no cranberry. I did add a little tannin in the end though. Just under 1/4tsp. It’s currently bubbling like a mad man. Smells good🤞

Thanks for that, I’ll do the sameacheers.

Hi all. Anyone used Crawford Press cloudy apple juice to make cider? They claim to press whole apples so I’m wondering if I still need to add a bit of wine tannin or tea.

Ah I forgot Neil Young. And Leonard Cohen. And Van Morrison. Bloody hell, the Beatles... I need another piece of paper.

First time I heard them was Gamma Knife played on 6music on the Marc Riley show. I was blown away. Hoping to see them live when the world is switched back on. I keep adding bands to my list of one band or composer... Led Zeppelin, Gong, Jethro Tull, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Psychedelic...

Nut gud fer yor eyezite tho

Nonagon Infinity was a great album. But I’ll have to go with Pink Floyd. No... Hawkwind. Hang on... Frank Zappa. Damn, this is hard.

Is that on Twitter? It’s on the same shelf as The Sanity And Dignity of Donald Trump.

I have the Bob Dylan book. I would have Jerusalem by Alan Moore. One of the best novels I have read in years and more than complex enough for a few reads.

Around the base of the valve you will see a band of rubber. That is the relief valve. If the pressure goes to high it just blows out from under the band. The pin is for piercing the little co2 bulb and does nothing else.

https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg24332435-000-a-variety-of-cbd-health-products-are-in-the-shops-do-they-work/ This is a bit out of date, and I am certainly not belittling any effect it has on people including the placebo effect which is real and powerful.

Apologies, I appear to be channeling Kenneth Williams. I’ve been listening to Round The Horne on 4extra:rolleyes:

They shrink in the cold so you can’t get a good grip.

Really? The only scientific research done on this stuff has shown it has absolutely no benefits at all.
