Re: Cider Tasting with Pat McCusker
I'm in too.
Pat, want me to bring my wild/spon cider from the rally also for tasting? Bottled it up yesterday. (turned the 1388 and 2056 batches into a spiced cider for the season, bottled the Wild straight.)

Re: Cider Tasting with Pat McCusker
Good meeting.
Six ciders, six different yeasts....and six different results.
Thanks to Pat for pulling together this science project; to Thew for hosting us; and to everyone who attended.
If you were unable to attend, there will be future tasting opportunities to sample the six ciders. We'll roll them out at some of our events, such as Happy Hour, when we are able to resume those activities.
Cheers,
Daryl

Re: Cider Tasting with Pat McCusker
I was really surprised by the residual sweetness of the Rochefort yeast cider, and the Westmalle was quite good also
Re: Cider Tasting with Pat McCusker
Big Thanks to Pat for organizing this session. Very insightful. Will definitely influence my cidermaking going forward. Now a convert to beer yeast for making cider over the white wine yeasts that I had been using.
Big Hugs to Haley for opening up the brewery to host us. Show them some love by stopping by and buying some beers every now and then!
