Long story short ...
Nearly twelve months ago I lost my Dad and since then I've spent most of my time looking after my Mum who has dementia. Sounds selfish but occassionally I've needed a distraction to keep me sane. I'm fortunate that I have access to loads of apple trees so I bought a crusher, press and pasteuriser, and made more apple juice than Waitrose.
(Bet you're glad I didn't give you the long version...)
I gave most of it to friends. Some suggested I may want to experiment with a batch of cider so I bought a kit and six hours of washing, chopping, crushing and pressing I had 30L on the go.
No idea if this will be a one-off adventure, or the start of a beautiful relationship between me and homebrew.
Will let you know ....
