THE MAKING OF CIDER

lfdls — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 14:40:00 GMT

1- Harvesting of apples :

When appels are ripes and saturated with sugar, we pick them from 15th October to the end of December. We own 17 acres of orchard and 27 varieties of apple.

2- Brewing :

Then apples are selected, cleaned and crushed to extract the juice. Pressing permits to extract the sweetened and tasty apple juice.

3- Fermentation :

After some days the wort is decanted then the alcoholic fermentation starts and allows sugar to convert in to alcohol. This process can last several months in vats.

4- To bottle :

When the aroma, the sugar content, the sharpness are interesting, the cider is bottled.
