Cider Chat

Budgeting money effectively is critical whether you are managing a household or a commercial business such as a cidery. In this episode of Cider Chat I speak with Eleanor Leger of Eden Specialty Cider based Vermont now in it’s 10th year of business. Two years ago, she started a blog call Cidernomics.com. In this chat we get a sneak peek into her 2018 CiderCon on this very topic on the economics of cider and get some real time tips. The 5 concepts to consider in Cidernomics. Economies of scale The break even point ...and how that changes as you grow Asset utilization Working capital requirements Sales channel economics What is one the key questions to consider when thinking about a cidery startup? - Are you going to make cider like beer is produced with a quick turn around or more as a winemaker would producing for a vintage longer term.

A $900 Price Drop for the Totally Cider Tour to the UK in April 25 - May 2, 2018. Join Ria and other awesome cider friends on this tour of a life time. Go to https://form.jotform.com/73186243884970 and register now! ----------------------- Eric and Katie Rider are making cider on the hillside of the Santa Cruz mountains. They are dry farming their apple trees and also using apples from Five Mile Orchard in Corralitos. (Jake Mann whose family own's the orchard will be on an upcoming Cider Chat.) Eric and Katie's home and cidery is smack in the middle of an old Stagecoach route between San Jose and Santa Cruz, California. Imagine for a moment stagecoach riders snacking on plums from San Jose and tossing out the plum's pits along the way. As a result this mountainside cidery and homestead has plum trees growing all around the property. Katie makes a Plum Port from the surround trees, that she likes pouring into a glass of cider as a cider cocktail called Plum Jerkum. Their ciderhouse is 120 square feet (10' x 12') with variable cider tanks ( a stainless tank with a floating top that rises and lowers as the cider flows). This small shed is fully tricked out with air conditioning and all the needs for making a range of ciders at Rider Ranch. The current cider offerings at Rider Ranch are ciders made from apple trees that were planted pre-Prohibition, which provides a specific niche to their branding of using only trees that are 90 years or older. However, it looks like they will have a cider made with 75 year old trees coming up in 2018. Either way their ciders are rock solid, tasty delights!

Ice Cider is made by freezing fresh pressed apple juice. The first element to freeze in the process is the water that is naturally occurring in all apples to a less or greater degree. As the water freezes, the pure liquid apple juice (sans the water) is extracted and then made into what is known as Ice Cider! Canadian cidermakers hold the title for exposing the world to this process. Quebec maker Christian Barthomeuf is the man that we all hail as the ice cider inventor. Eleanor Ledger co-owner and maker at Eden Specialty Ciders lives across the border from Bathomeuf in Vermont and has become America’s go-to voice for ice cider. Chadd Cook of Cider Hill Cellars, who was on episode 104 of Cider Chat, makes an ice cider that was inspired by Eden’s ice cider with northern spy as the base apple. In this chat, Chadd shares how he “reverse” engineered Eden’s ice cider when working on his own ice cider for Cider Hill Cellars. Listen to his many tips such as, - the amount of fresh juice that is needed to make one gallon of ice cider - the best apple to use for making ice cider - the freezing process for fresh pressed juice,  freezing right above 34 degrees. - stopping fermentation of ice cider Contact for Cider Hill Cellars Website: http://www.ciderhill.com/cellars/ Address: 45 Fern Ave Amesbury MA 01913 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Cider-Hill-Cellars-618581648230401/   Ask for the following 9 #ciderGoingUP Campaign sponsors - By supporting these cider makers, you in turn help Cider Chat Kurant Cider - Pennsylvania : listen to Joe Getz on episode 14 Big Apple Hard Cider - NYC : listen to Danielle von Scheiner on episode 35 Oliver’s Cider and Perry - Herefordshire/UK ; listen to Tom Oliver on episode 29 Santa Cruz Cider Company - California : listen to Nicole Todd on episode 60 The Cider Project aka EthicCider- California Albermale CiderWorks : listen to Chuck Shelton on episode 56 Cider Summit : listen to Alan Shapiro founder of this cider fest on episode 75.

Adam Levy’s moniker is “The Alcohol Professor “. In this chat we are talking with this self professed beer freak about getting cider makers to enter their ciders into two competition that he runs in New York City and Berlin, Germany.    Adam Levy Adam started the International Spirits Competition in 2008 followed by the International Wine Competition and then the International Beer Competition which is now in its 7th year. February 11, 2018, the New York International Beer Competition's 7th judging will be takes place in NYC. Beside beer, this competition also judges ciders and meads. The cider categories used in the competition come from the United States Association of Cider Makers which just this year (2017) introduced their 10 categories for cider styles. International ciders entering the competition will be judged based upon their country’s styles. What makes this competition unique is the Judges! Instead of having Makers, Adam has Trade Buyers judge the cider based upon category and price point. Adam says, “Most people buy based on price. These people are the buyers and distributors some who own craft beer bars and are ordering at restaurants.” How does entering this competition benefit makers and cider? -First off, who doesn’t love winning a medal! -More importantly, Adams says that if he gets enough entries he is open to having a stand alone cider competition!!! And best yet, he is getting very close to the number of cider needed to make it so. We also discuss: How the Gold, Silver, Bronze and regional awards are determined Use of digital images from the awards Options available for showcasing their awards, such as promoting a win on a cider label. The Deadline to send cider to the February 11, 2018 competition is February 4th. Going to CiderCon?  Bring your cider to Adam who will be at the vendor area at CiderCon with a table and save money on shipping! You can also enter your cider in the Berlin International Competition and save money on international shipping charges. Dates to note for upcoming competitions.

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.

This new commercial maker was a 2014 Gold Medal winner at Franklin County CiderDays competition. His products are just out, so stay tuned! One listen to this chat might make you agree that this guy is a virtual walking encyclopedia on cidermaking. Chadd explains that he uses a partial wild ferment in every cider. Using up to .4 parts per million (ppm) of sulfite, which he says will inhibit most lactic acid bacteria and brettanomyces - but this amount of sulfite won’t kill off all the wild saccharomyces yeasts. They let it get up to about 1% alcohol before introducing their own yeast at Cider Cellars. All of Cider Hill Cellars products are named after a season like Spring Cider or Summer Cider and Frost Cider ( an ice cider) Patrons of Cider Chat will recieve a special additional audio file on Chadd speaking on how to stop fermentation of Ice Cider and future tips for this special Apple drink!
