Cwrw666 cider brewday

[Cwrw666]

In 2012 we planted a bunch of fruit trees in the field below our house, including 10 different cider apple varieties:
Tremletts Bitter, Yarlington Mill, Lady’s Fingers, Kingston Black, Bulmers Norman, Browns, Court Royal , Tom Putt, Fair Maid of Devon, and Killerton Sharp.

So last year we had our first crop of apples - not a lot and after leaving them in some buckets for a couple of weeks put them in the freezer meaning to thaw them out and juice them after a couple of weeks. Needless to say I never got round to it until a couple of days ago...

Here they are thawing out in the bath:

And the rest of the process:

We got 3 gallons of juice which was surprisingly non-acidic. OG about 1070 but I added a bit of water to it to reduce that somewhat. Then added 4 campden tablets to `sterilise' it.

Today I added the yeast - Mangrove Jacks M02 cider yeast.

Fantastic stuff. Must be a lot of work but the end product will be well worth it I’m sure.

Sorry to disappoint but you would appear to use the same haircare products as Mrs. Cwrw, not me...
