Autumn, Apples & Cider

We are racing into September and Autumn; one of my favourite seasons.  I love apples, nuts and the rustle of newly fallen leaves. Autumn presents itself with it's own challenges such as what do you do with all those fabulous English apples? This brings me onto our new Artisan Cider Making Course where we learn how to produce delicious artisan cider from all those left over apples. So join our new tutor Rob North from Pure North Cider Press to learn how to make your own golden nectar.  Rob is a gent and an expert in cider production having set up his own production facilities near Holmsfirth in Yorkshire.
During the day learning all about artisan cider production we will take you through:

• Types of apples
• What to use and look for in your apples
• Review of apple crushers and presses
• Recipe formulation
• Fermentation and yeast
• Bottling and production
• Useful references and literature
