But on friday, they showed up! With 24 bottles of hard cider! They said they had just bottled it, so leave it at room temperature for another couple of weeks, but it should be ready to drink by Thanksgiving.
I'm SO glad I'm hosting this year!
A couple moves from the big city to the countryside and starts a small farm...wait, you've heard this premise before? What? Trite? Hackneyed? But, I have goats. Really cute pictures of tiny baby goats. And cheesemaking recipes. We slaughter our own pigs and cure our own bacon! Well, that's in the master plan, anyway. Just read it, you'll see.

Homebrewers Make Good!
Hooray! Several weeks ago, a couple of college age homebrewin' boys came to press apples with me. Even though I have burned in the past by homebrewers who take all my juice and never deliver the promised cider, I decided to take a chance on these boys. What the heck, I already had a freezer full of juice. So instead of taking 50% of the fresh juice (my usual take), I asked for 25% of the finished product back. I figured odds were 50/50 I'd never see them again.
Sounds delicious sis. Hope you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds fabulous! I've pressed cider before but never made hard cider. Hmmmm...

Wow! I bet it is tasty stuff too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you trusted one more time!
The Question Mark butterfly is called so because of the markings on the underwing looking like a Question Mark (?).
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Sounds lovely. I miss fresh cider since our cider mill upstate closed.
