Happy Hub-day! I've been enjoying our games of Go! Would love to see a more detailed post on your cider. I've been gathering the equipment for a go at mead but love a good homemade cider.

Go had been fun, thanks for introducing me.

I haven't been making cider the "right" way by pressing bitter and sharp apples. Just seeing if I can make anything good from grocery store fruit and juice. I'll probably make a post at some point. I tried making mead once and it didn't go too well, but I had no idea what I was doing.

If you haven't fermented stuff before this book is a good intro. I have brewed cider and fruit wines out of it, and my dad has probably done all the beers, wines, and meads out of it.

Always on the lookout for good books like this so thanks for the link! I haven't fermented any beverages before yet but I am familiar with fermented foods. Look forward to hearing the results of your cider experiment!
