Cider Chat

Lees: When should we love them and when should we leave them? And what the heck is “lees” anyways? The main chat in this episode begins around 10 minutes in and features Curt Sherrer presenting his workshop titled “All Lees Are Not Gross”. This was recorded at the 24th Annual Franklin County CiderDays in November of 2018. Why rack off the lees? Curt proposes that there are more advantages for aging the cider on the lees then removing the lees. Sur Lie is leaving the lees in the vessel that you are conditioning the cider in is called: What to expect from barrel aging and leaving the cider on the lees is the smell of H2S which smells like rotten eggs. Curt recommends: Using your nose and taste buds to keep track of what is going on when leaving the aging cider on the lees. Taste every part of the fermentation Instead of automatically dumping your lees our of the bottle - save your lees add to your next cider cook with the lees make bread with lees The process for either barrel or carboy: After the rigours fermentation, stir lees for usually the next 6 weeks - sometimes 3 times per week. This technique is called Bâtonnage. Use your nose and taste buds to decider upon the schedule best suited for your cider. Perhaps you will stir more often or not. Lees can rest upon the bottom of your vessel for up to year for further. This presentation will “lees” you with lots of food for thought and decisions to make for you own cider. Not a cider maker? - then seek out maker who do produce cider sur lie and see if you like this more wine like production. I do and as such post this taping I began my own oak barrel sur lie cider.

Sex(ism) in the cidery was a panel discussion moderated by, Franklin County CiderDays committee chair April Woodard on November 3, 2018. The goal was to take the larger context from the MeToo Movement to the cidery community. The aim is to create an egalitarian, inclusive cider community and beyond.

Matt Oskamp and Amelia Campbell started Apple Falls Cider Company in 2017. The cider house is situated alongside the farm store at Campbell Orchards located in Prince Edward County, Ontario. Campbell Orchards is owned by Amelia’s parents Colin and Dianne Campbell. When Colin’s father died due to a plane crash, he took on the orchard that was started by his father. That was back in the late seventies when Colin was just in college. Today the orchard and farm stand is a testament of love and perseverance. There is a cider garden outdoors from the tasting room with ample seating at picnic tables. This is a family friendly scene where you can also stop and pick up a pie or meats on your way home from work. Listen to their story and the future of Apple Falls Cider Company.  1937 Orchard tractor - called Cockshutt .

In this episode author of "The New Cider Makers Handbook" Claude Jolicoeur presents an overview of his trip to Kazakhstan in August of 2017. This presentation was recorded at the 24th Annual Franklin County CiderDays on November 3, 2018. Claude had a power point of slides from this trip, but do note that his descriptions fill in the void of not being able to see the photos. We begin in the Tian Shan Mountains of Kazakhstan. Locations: Lee-Alatau National Park Almaty to Sarkand was a 5 hour drive. Claude states that one of the main reason he was there was to see the Largest Apple in the World. This tree’s diameter is over 1 meter (3 feet). This trip was design to both be a study of the areas apples and to create a documentary film Also on this trip was Andrew Lee - author Ryan Burk - head cidermaker at Angry Orchard Peter Mitchel - provides a curriculum on cider making. Take Aways from this presentation There are apple trees everywhere. Looking at Claude’s photos you can see trees in the distance as one would see bush and sage brush in the desert. Every where you saw a tree, it seemed to be an apple tree. The apples though wild, meaning that they are not be cultivated or spray, produced what looked like flawless apples Horses are also found through the area, as horseback riding is quite popular Cannabis Sativa can be found growing everywhere Coming out in 2019 is the documentary film of this trip.

How to teach Cidermaking 101 is fairly straight forward: Have on hand: Fresh pressed apple juice A carboy or some sanitized vessel to hold the juice, with enough room for it to ferment and not bubble over. An airlock to release CO2 and keep out Oxygen That is the basics, but in truth there is more to consider before you start publicizing your Cidermaking workshop. When Matthew Somerville reached out to me in September 2018 to speak with me on a cidermaking course he was setting up in his area of Ontario (Port Perry), I gladly jumped at the chance to have a chat. This episode features that conversation as we discuss all the particulars of setting up a cidermaking course for non professionals. Matthew Somerville and Andy Paul own Two Blokes Cider in Port Perry and Toronto, Canada. Port Perry is a 1 hour drive from Toronto They are newly licensed in 2019. To prep for that moment they planted 2000 apples trees - cider varieties- in 2015 on a family farm.  What follows below is an overview of tips from our conversation. How to teach Cidermaking 101 The goal: Make cidermaking as simple as possible. Basics of what to have on hand Recommend 2 demos - one with dry yeast and the other liquid ( recommend sweet mead and making a cyser, by adding up to 3 pound of honey per 5 gallons - the new makers will be pleased with the results. I have found this to be a fail safe cyser to make during demos) Have 2 glass carboys pre filed with cider  (half filled, so it can be easily moved after the workshop to your cellar) Have airlocks pre sanitized and enclosed in a ziplock bag. If adding honey (as I usually did with one batch) have a sanitize funnel to make pouring the yeast. Have cider on hand for folks to taste and to discuss what you did last year to make that cider. Having a taste of cider will definitely elicit questions.      Options on set up pick your own apples and press on site do a bulk pressing and prepare the cider before hand by setting up the ph and sulfite before the course begins. - Ria’s favorite way to go - don’t worry about the ph and don’t worry that the cider is cool. It won’t be absolutely perfect but that is the beauty of cider. Use the fresh pressed juice on hand, plop in the yeast and spend a bit of time on primary fermentation and the first initial racking. Yeast: Pick a yeast that leaves a bit of residual sugar. Recommend 2 yeast for a demo Sweet Mead Yeast - buy it in liquid form And 71B Be prepared post the workshop for incoming emails as the new cidermakers go home and begin wondering if what they are doing is right. Final Goal: Have people wanting to keep coming back to cider. Matthew’s inspirational read for cider making Craft Cider: How to Turn Apples into Alcohol. Main tips to glean from this chat Keep it simple Avoid getting too technical Entice the newbies to make it not only once but again and again.

Dave Carr makes cider using wild yeast and oak barrels (primarily). Raging Cider and Mead is based in San Marcos, California, which is about 15 minutes in land from Oceanside and based in San Diego County, California. Dave Carr Raging is an urban cidery with an orchard based twist, which means Dave is bringing apples from the mountain region to the east and pressing it on site at the San Marcos location. What can you expect from apples that are dry farmed? Read: no irrigation, hot weather, dry climate. Expect a very high brixs, which relates to a dense amount of sugar lending a potential for a quite high alcohol by volume with the cider made. Raging Cider in short 100% wild ferment Dave does not rack the cider off its lees. He leaves what would be called the gross lees in the barrel. Using the technique called Bâtonnage he will then work with the lees stirring it in through out the ferment and while it is conditioning and some of the barrels he leaves the cider to ferment in place on top of the lees. What to expect at the Tasting Room You will see a wall with around 24 barrels of cider It opens on Thursday through Sunday.

Kees Morsink and Margaret Van Helvoort have traveled the world as United Nations aid workers in Africa where they were fermenting everything from yogurt to mango and even doing some distilling. Cider isn’t new to these two enterprising Canadians. Kees had his first spontaneous ferment forty years ago when he put a gallon of cider in his school locker and the cider began to ferment. Now-a-days they split their time traveling to India, Nepal, and Thailand making jewelry. This lifestlye provides them the ability to manage their own time which really helps with the seasonal demands of cider making. Four years ago they began the process of starting up a commercial cider making operation at their home. The Tasting Room open in May 2018. I visited with my Canadian host Ryan Monkman of Fieldbird Cider in June of 2018. We sat down in the Kees and Margarets living room and then moved to the Tasting Room next door. From May 31st to December 31st you can visit the Tasting Room on Saturday and Sundays from 11-6pm. There is a window that allows viewing into the cidery. We tasted the full compliment of Kings Mill Ciders, which are all available via their online store.

What do you do before a cider tour sets sail from Paris to Normandy? You take in the city of lights, sounds and sights. River Tour by Eiffel Tower This episode is a Cider Chat Live recording - I had limited time, so this one day excursion what the perfect fit. I began the day by visiting Montmartre. It is located within walking distance from my hotel. Montmarte overlooks Paris and is one of the highest points in the city - in the Dome, which I climbed …all 300 steps up and down, you are higher than the Effiel Tower. The fee to climb the Dome is 6 euros. If you have difficulty with stairs this is not a good choice. There is a courtyard nearby filled with artist and the Salvador Dali Museum is nearby. The fee is 14 euros and the audio assist is an additional 3 euros. An early evening walk along the Champs-Élysées  and a cruise through the courtyard of the Louvre, and then onto Pont Neuf to catch a  river boat tour along the River Seine. The Vedettes du Pont Neuf boat tour is an hour long and cost approximately 14 euros.Make reservations online and get the same tour for 10 euros. I highly recommend this tour, as it is not a crowded boat and takes you along many of the major attractions. Go on the evening tour and see the Eiffel Tower sparkle on the hour every hour until 1 am.
