Hard cider, it's in the first long fermentation. Surprisingly fussy about small temperature changes. Apple trees are rare in my area. It took me a long time to save up enough local apples, but I learned about preserving them in different ways. Of course, I wish I'd saved 3 LBS. more. XD

When it's apple season, loads of people reach me and my friend if we want some. This year we had to stop taking new apples because we didn't had the capacity to process them all.

Now I have about 40l of archive worthy cider (some was consumed/given away already).

I tried to use wood chips and it turned out amazing.
