Cider Time!!!It's that time of year again! Delhaven Orchards will be pressing their cider starting this week. The cider is a blend of different apples which is UV pasteurized but not stabilized with sorbates, meaning it will be stable for a short period of time but will likely begin to ferment on it's own if you don't pitch yeast within a few days. We've had lots of luck with these bulk buys in the past so let's keep it going! We have yet to completely confirm but they said it's likely the same price as last year which was $1/L, meaning for 5 gallons (19L) it is $19 (although please prepare for it to be incrementally more just in case). Last year it was more of a do-it-yourself type of affair, but if there is interest we can likely gather fermenters from everyone and drop them off as a club, and then organize pickup once they are filled. Essentially we drop off our clean and sanitized fermenters and ensure we label them with our name and phone number and when they are filled, Delhaven will call the number to let us know they're ready for pickup. In past years we had quite a few interesting ciders to try.. including dry-hopped ciders, cider/beer hybrids and ciders fermented with alternative yeasts (wine yeast, brettanomyces etc). Try your hand at some interesting ciders!! (Kveik?) So if you're interested, post below and I will start a list. Be sure to mention whether you are available to drop off and pick up your own fermenter.

Count me in for 23L, assuming the price doesn't jump a lot. I can probably drop off/pick up my own container and any others in the Ridgetown area, depending on the time(s) of day they're allowing us to do so.
