  • 59: Ciderville Tales | Monterey Bay, CA

    The farmers of Monterey Bay California have been growing apples since the state constitution was first ratified in1849. The primary apple of the region is Newtown Pippin due partly to the demand for this apple by Martinelli's, a 4th generation family run cider and apple juice producer.

    If you speak to any orchardist in the area, there is a undeniable agreement that if not for Martinelli's there would likely be no orchards in the area today.

    This episode takes the listener along on my travels to the region to meet makers and plan for an up coming Totally Cider Tour" Monterey Bay. If you would like to get on the list for this tour now - do send an email to [email protected].

    We begin with a song by Robbie Robertson of The Band "Christmas Must Be Tonight", sung by my cousin Jay. Then we head out on the road to meet with makers for an evening of cider and chat surrounding the upcoming cider tour.

  • 157: County Cork's Killahora Orchards | Ireland

    Killahora Orchards of County Cork is located on the southern tip of the Emerald Isle a.k.a. Ireland and was once the center of the world butter market. Historically it is also known as the "rebel city". Today it is a thriving city with Michelin star restaurants and makers like Barry Walsh and Dave Watson of Killahora Orchards in Glounthaune.

    Killahora Orchards began to be replanted in 2011.

    Replanted because Killahora Orchards today, it was found, was also an orchard dating back as far as 1838. This was discovered on Ireland's OS (Ordinance Survey) Maps. As such there are wilding apple trees on the fence line linked to the Malus sylvestris (this apple tree usually has thorns).

    Barn on the hill at Killahora Orchards

    In 2016 Killahora entered the commercial market as Johnny Fall Down cider, but as the brand evolves they are now making Johnny Fall Down a brand of cider under the Killahora Orchards label.

    There are 130 varieties of apples and 30 different pears.

    Dave Watson planted the orchard. His father Tim Watson tends it. Barry Walsh is Dave's cousin. Barry is crowned the Booze Geek, while Dave is considered the Tree Geek.

    Killahora Orchards Products

    • The Wild Apple Bouché won the Supreme International Championship for International Ciders at the Royal Bath and West cider competition in June 2018.
    • The Rare Apple Ice Wine which was made with Bitter Sweet and Bitter Sharp apples really set this Irish version of an ice cider apart.

  • 156: Not all lees are gross

    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" It was recorded at the 24th Annual Franklin County CiderDays.

    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.

  • 154: Turning Straw into Gold | Apple Falls Cider Company

    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.

  • 153: Journey to the World's Largest Apple Tree | Kazakhstan

    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. Stay tuned.

  • 152: How to teach Cidermaking 101
    Teaching Cider Making 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.

    The Skype call

    " data-medium-file= "https://i0.wp.com/ciderchat.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Matthew-Ria.jpg?fit=300%2C221&ssl=1" data-large-file= "https://i0.wp.com/ciderchat.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Matthew-Ria.jpg?fit=840%2C619&ssl=1" /> The Skype call

    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.

    The goal of Cidermaking 101

    The goal: Make cider making as simple and attainable 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.

  • 151: The Sweet and Sour Side of Cider Podcasting

    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.
