A few years ago I found my father’s press. He fermented apples, tomatoes and other fruits from his garden. So I’m doing the same but instead buying apples from local orchards in the Northern Virginia area. My primary reference has been “Real Cidermaking - On a Small Scale” by Michael Pooley & John Lomax, which I have found to be a tremendous resource. The couple of batches I’ve made (annual fall family fun) have been good, but I’m always trying to improve and think this forum will help (need some help with my current batch).
I picked a UK forum for two reasons, one is my primary resource mentioned above and another is I spend half of the year in Anstruther, Fife and have family near Tomnavaulin. I’ve tasted some good cider from Fife and seems like there’s an increasing interest in making good local ciders. Cheers to that.
