This is last years cider waiting to be decanted into smaller containers.
We sterilised everything then started the syphoning process.


Mmmm lovely cider

and the end result! The cider tastes good!
We will bottle a demijohn into some glass wine bottles to keep, but the rest can stay in these plastic 5 L containers... they are water bottles but are exactly the same as the plastic demijohns one can buy...so we have recycled them!
That way if the cider is still fermenting there will just be a mess and not a mess AND shards of glass!
That is a lot of cider. Very impressive. I am not a big cider fan, but that's probably because I abused my tastebuds in my teenage years drinking Woodpecker. (I was young, that's my excuse!)
ReplyDeleteHave PMed you on INEBG, btw.
My goodness thats a lot of cider.... you are in for a very good winter hic!hic!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great feeling though (apart from the intoxication..) to sit all cosy by your fire on a winters night with a nice glass of home-made cider... Well done and enjoy!!
Hope you are beginning to feel better and in less pain?
Thinking of you Sarah..
Love Jane xxxx
yum, yum, yum! I'm drooling. I've actually got quite a large amount of cider in the fridge at the moment as we stopped off at Broome Farm in Peterstow the other day. Still, there's no such thing as too much cider.... :)
ReplyDeleteBlimey, that's a seriously industrious kitchen!
ReplyDeleteBTW, hope you're feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the lovely good wishes and comments...I wish you could all come round and we could drink some!
ReplyDeleteI love the look of a productive kitchen. Yours is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHello rhonda jean! Welcome to my blog and thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteI DO feel we have been quite productive this year, despite the poor harvest of many things from the garden. Our top fruit (apart from apples) was a disaster...hardly any plums at all from 5 trees.
And a lot of veg was poor this year ...but we have a good stock of food in for th winter and lots of chutney, cider, wine etc on the go...so life will be merry, at least...
