DIDO.1 20,844 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Time to start pressing this years cider apples. Opened a few bottles of last years as well. I brought some Somerset scrumpy back over the weekend, it's not a patch on the stuff we make. Ours is clear and sparkling, I simply can't understand how they make such shite. 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Meece 1,957 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 people that say cider is manky ain't drunk the good matured stuff. A bloke that I know makes it and the pizz artists are knocking on his door asking for a bottle about a week after it is started and its still green. If that stuff is dru k they'd probably by on the pan for some time. He works his liquid for several years and it isn't anything like woodpecker or strongbow ect. It is very nice to drink and 3/4 of a plastic cup has the ability to take your legs. You don't get a headache. It's some potent tackle. Not something that you'd sink a pint of.

The Somerset scrumpy sold in jars is for tourists virtually un drinkable and only fit for degreasing engines, proper cider makers like roger Wilkins, Ben crossmans and Richie's is the real macoy and far more palletable, cider is made with cider apples like the kingstone black or dabanai not cookers and eaters, clear sparkling cider is for birds and still cloudy gear for men I believe you can get a black rat rubharb scrumpy that seems very popular though it's not for me, as I am all man and like a few rats tails in mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
