    Cider X-Post: Apple juice vendors?

    So I make cider in the fall, and I'm looking for a good local orchard that will provide juice made primarily from bittersweet or bittersharp apples. I've been going to Carlson Orchards (http://www.carlsonorchards.com/) who provides a good blend of juice from several orchards, but doesn't really...

    MA apple juice providers?

    I live in Boston and I've been getting my juice from these guys: http://www.carlsonorchards.com/ I haven't had a lot of success despite my best efforts, so in the tradition of lazy bastards everywhere I'm blaming my juice source rather than my own process :cross: Has anyone had experience...

    Spices in cider?

    I've decided that I'm going to name my ciders after significant events in my life. One of them is going to be called A&A, after two girls I know named Alicia and Amanda.

    Will pasteurized cider continue to age?

    So I bottled my first cider about a month ago. Decided to open one on Christmas to see how it's doing. It's basically colored JP8 at this point. If I pasteurized them, will they continue to develop in the bottle? Or are they going to stay that way forever, now?

    Yadirmct (Yet Another Did I...)

    Yet Another Did I Ruin My Cider Thread ;) So last night I moved my cider from primary to secondary. Prior to using any of the equipment I let it sit in star-san for a bit over two minutes, then took it out and set it in the (just finished running) dishwasher to let it drip dry. Well... I...

    Three Cider Scenarios

    I am so new to this that I'm not just wet behind the ears, I'm positively soaking. I didn't fall off the apple cart yesterday - I'm still bumping along the road going "OW OW OW OW OW!" In the basement right now I've got one gallon of cider that's been fermenting with a champagne yeast + some...
