Yesterday we bottled 34 pints of cider!
They will stay in the airing cupboard for 3 days before being moved to the garage where they need to stay for at least 3 weeks!
This leaves fermenting bin 1 free for us to start off some beer.
Tomorrow I collect another fermenting bin thanks to Freecycle which I will use to start off 15 gallons of a red wine.
I also have a rose to start off in a demijohn.
The 2 demijohns of apricot & strawberry wine continue to bubble away in the airing cupboard.
I must say it is getting pretty crowded in there and we may have to make some alterations.
Less bedding = more home brewing space!
I have too much bedding anyway! lol!

I imagine if anyone looks in your airing cupboard for a clean towel they will get a surprise!

I vote for tossing out the bedding and filling it up with wine. Hubby is making pickles. Although they are quite tasty, I like your idea better!
That's a lot ov cider!!
all sounds very good to me Denise - I have never dared to venture into wine making but my mother in law made superb stuff. If you manage to get over to see us, do bring a sample!
I have a friend who loves cider but I can't drink it- it makes me depressed!
The wine sounds delicious :-)
I definitely like your priorities!

We are going to make our own wine come the fall, but we'll do it at a type of "store" where they actually do it all for you. It's so much cheaper than buying the bottles at the liquor store and it's supposed to be very good. Tomorrow Lorne is bringing over his wine holder thingy (holds 60 bottles) so it needs to be filled! lol Not that it'll stay filled, though. hahaha
My uncle made wine. It was the best ever. He made wine out of things I never dreamed of.
Isn't Freecycle the best?
Oh my, that looks good! What a busy girl you are.. I have stored my bottled peaches, will tell you the outcome when they are ready!
Right then....
Three weeks time, must go to Yorkshire............
To, search out airing cupboards and garages...lol
Aloha Denise,
luscious cider indeed..
peace, Kai
I could shut myself in there and die a happy woman..*hic*
I'd sure love to have a taste of the cider. It would be great if you included the recipe... but maybe it's secret!
How did you make those lovely labels???
