Another great CiderFest! OK, it was a little soggy but we still had fun! We pressed 191 gallons of cider with an original gravity of 1.052. 50 bushels of apples were pressed and varieties included were Cortland, Jonagold, Gala, Empire, Stayman winesap, Macintosh, Red Delicious and Golden Delicious. My daughter said the sweet cider was "Awesome" so I'm sure it will make a great hard cider.
We had a few no-shows I'm kind of ticked about but I would like to thank all those who did participate and take up the slack. A special Thank You goes out to David Pittman and Ted & Debbie Woycio for their help in transporting the apples to the press.
See you all next year!
Tim
