This workshop is an invitation for attendees to bring organic apples from their own trees, you-pick orchards, or the store to be pressed into apple cider to drink and keep. The more different types of apples that are brought the more complex and unique the flavor of the batch will be. If you don’t have apples you still welcome to attend.
We will talk about recipes for warm and cold cider drinks, storage, and composting of cider mash. Please bring containers for cider (plastic gallons work good if you would like to freeze your cider) or large mason jars, Nalgene bottles, and 5 gallon buckets also work.
