The Cider Shed

About this event

Are you a small-scale cider producer? Whether small scale means a couple of demijohns or a couple of hundred litres, you know who you are – you make cider for pleasure not profit, it’s made for the consumption of you and your friends, and not for the “general public”. If that is you then you might be interested in joining the Cider Shed, a small group of like-minded individuals interested in comparing notes and learning from each other. What is that white mould that sometimes forms on the top of the cider while it’s fermenting? Is it dangerous? Can I use just desert apples or must I only use cider ones? Do different yeasts make a difference to the final product? Why is my cider so incredibly – unbearably – dry? Is there anything I can do about it? Some of my bottles exploded last summer. Why? Can I stop it happening again? What does your cider taste like? These are the kind of things we’ll be talking about and probably a good deal more! The inaugural meeting of the cider shed will take place at the Pavilion on April you’re interested in attending, then contact me on.
