Cider Newbie - Hello!
|
|
Hello there everyone, I'm a cider newbie (well, the homebrew part, not the drinking part) and I wanted to introduce myself. I've never done any brewing before, and forgive me, but cider is the only stuff for me. I joyously overcame the isolation of a non-beer drinker when I lived in London for a year for grad school, and discovered the wonders of Strongbow, Magners, Bulmers, Aspall, and other such delicious things. Back in the U.S. now I enjoy Woodchuck and Hornsby's (which I think is pretty much only on the west coast).
Anyways, I'm starting my first batch of cider, but I wanted to be polite and say hello before I just jumped in. So hello!

Nope, we have those in NY as well.

Cool, I didn't see Hornsby's when I was over there. About a year ago some friends and I did a cross-country road trip, so we came across quite a variety.

Have you had Wyder's Pear cider? It's awesome. |

I have, although I'm not as big of a fan of pear cider as apple. I am looking forward to trying a variety of types once I get into the brewing groove.

Wow, now I feel rude... I kind of just jumped in without introducing myself... 
Hi, I'm Devin, I have one cider brewed bottled and almost completely drank out. I have two meads aging, another cider brewing, one cider ready to brew and one mead planned out.
There, I feel better now!  |

Woah.... Chocolate? I am hesitant but a little intrigued. Probably after a few basic batches and I feel confident enough to begin experimenting.
