105: Tom Oliver on Making Perry | UK

Reserve you spot today for the Totally Cider Tour to the UK! We will be visiting Tom Oliver an award winning cidermaker and this week's guest on Cider Chat. This cider tour begins in Bristol, UK on April 25, 2018, then after that evening's dinner at The Stable for the "Ultimate Cider" dinner we head out to tour around Somerset and then Herefordshire through May 2nd. Sign up for a trip of a lifetime and come along with Ria, the host of Cider Chat and fellow cider travels. This week's chat was recorded during Tom's presentation at CiderDays 2017. Making Perry tips from Tom No surprise that Tom says you are reliant upon the fruit Don’t work with culinary pears or apples All about minimum intervention Ferments with wild yeast - does not pitch yeast. Doesn’t use sulfite prior to fermentation No yeast nutrient Use a little bit of SO2 - about 80 ppm Tom’s favorite Pear varieties for making Perry, hopefully from old trees Moorcroft Thorn Blakeney Red Hendre Huffcap Winnal’s Longdon More pears mentions in this chat: Coppy Rock Gin Oldfield Christmas Pear Cypress Pear Ferret Custard Cows slip Dead Boy Go to this UK link to find out more about Perry Pears The Challenge of Perry Pears: They all ripen at different times They don’t come off the tree They engage in bletting If the pear is brown in side is it bad or rotten - no it is not - it is fermenting. Blet - means overripe pear...it is fermenting Rot - is decomposing. And Tom does use pears that are bletting from the inside out - "It is how far you will let it go. (blet). Tom washes the pears beforehand and referenced Mike Beck and how he uses saline solution to wash the pears in because pears sink, unlike apples that float. Maceration - leaving the pears to break down the sugars before you press them Tom does at least 24 hours to 48 hours for a pressing.

097: Cider Chat Travels in Europe | Normandy

In this chat I take you along on my travels a.k.a reconnaissance for a future travel tourist trips to Normandy. This main chat begins at 12:30 minutes Before I headed to France I first made a stop in the Netherlands, specifically Amsterdam and the well love park called Vondelpark. Cider Travel Tip: Nearby Amsterdam Centraal Train station is a great bike rental shop called Star Bikes. While on the bike I found my first Medlar tree laden with fruit.   The next day I flew to Paris, rented a car, and drove out to Normandy in search of the perfect cider loop to bring a group of cider tourists. I headed to Honfleur and met with Agathe Letelliet of episode 49. I then head north to see both Etretrat and Vincent who is the farmer and maker at Ecomusee de la Pomme et du Cidre The next day it was onto meet Jerome Dupont of the Domaine Dupont  The area surrounding Domaine Dupont is dotted with cideries everywhere. You can spend hours roaming around in search of the perfect glass or find yourself wanting for a rest at a cafe to enjoy the French country air. I however was on the quest for cider or as it is written in French cidre (sedar). I made one more stop to meet with Stéphane et Lucile Grandval – Manoir de Grandouet before heading onto to the Domfront region of Normandy where pears are celebrated like no where else in the world. Thursday was spent meeting with Phillipe who along with his wife open their farm to a festival of art called The Appel au Bois Normand - this is not an apple fest, but it sure is one heck of a festival. Having stayed with my new friend Michel Dargent who owns the Airbnb that I stayed in while touring the Domfront region of Normandy,  I learned of a local cidermaker whose Poire knock my socks off! I will speak about Roland as I roll out these episodes from France. My last night in Normandy was spent having dinner with Eric Bordelet. We discussed the world affairs of cider as we drank a bottle of 2008  and 2014 Argellete, along with a bottle of red wine. To contrast the wine with the cider helped me understand and appreciate what Eric offers as a maker. His ciders are about terroir and that means the earth. When he walks in his orchards he looks to the ground and picks up the local stone - You can taste the earth in his cider. Yes they are dry, but they also yield the taste of stone or minerality that you feel on your teeth and in your mouth....imagine being in a rock quarry and having the stone dust coat your mouth. Bordelet ciders are dry and wet at the same time and of course delicious. Next year in 2018, I will be offering to two trip to 20 people to come with me to the UK and then on to Normandy. Many of the people mentioned in this chat will be part of the Normandy tour, including Eric who will provide a seminar on how to taste cider. Patrons of Cider Chat will be the first ones to be offered to come on the trip. If you would like to become a patron and help support this chat go to this link. Next I will put out a mailing on the eCiderNews - you can subscribe via this link. Suffice to say, it was a memorable experience in Normandy and the Netherlands - and I can't wait to return.
