The rabbit has
asked------------------------
The
questions...
Anyway I am wondering about cider. Specifically nonalcoholic (ya'll don't want to see the fluffy bunny on the sauce). What type of apples make the best single apple cider? And what apples blends make a good cider? Better yet, why do you blend the apples in a nonalcoholic cider, i.e. what are you trying to achieve.? Does anyone make a good "tart" non-hard cider? How about "balanced" nonalcoholic cider? My
response------------
In making cider over the years, the following
make wonderful stuff when used singularily.
1. Sweet 16 - tie for
first.
1. GoldRush - tie for
first.
2. Spigold - nearly as balanced as the
above.
3. Gala (of all things) picked every so
slightly immature.
4. Golden Russet - a tad on the sweet
side.
5. Freyberg - outstanding when properly
picked.
6. Suncrisp
7. I can't think of No.
7!!
For three
consecutive years, 90% GoldRush cider has won the Indiana Hort Congress cider
entries, judged blindly by three so-called "experts" (me bein' one). And
the fellow who brings this cider will be back this year and I invite all to
attend this great meeting. Held in Indy, Jan. 27,28 and 29. near the
airport on the west side of town. More details later.
