My First Cider in a while…

The first bottles of Grimstead Green to be bottled in over a year. Maybe two. Don’t get too excited though, this is just the side project I mentioned in the previous post. It tastes very ‘citrusy’ at this point. I put in a tiny bit of honey and stashed them away for a month or so.

The main batch will probably stay in the secondary fermenter for another month unless the weather gets really hot. In that case, I’ll bottle it and take it to my inLaw’s garage which is the coolest place I can find. No one I know here has AC or a basement. My Shed is already reaching 30-40c when it’s all closed up, which was exactly why I lost the batch last time. I might have to invest in a cheap secondhand fridge someplace if I can find room for it. 🙂
