It's also a shame that my Gold Rush isn't able to finish ripening in my 
temperate Pacific Maritime climate.  :-(  The tree has great vigor and heavy 
production but the apples hang on the tree until the first good freeze when 
they begin to rot. They never develop much flavor or size.  Still they were 
far enough along to go in the cider press and I let them sit for a day after 
grinding to help convert a few more starches to sugars before pressing.  
Turned out pretty good!

Subject: [nafex] Gold Rush

Every year I buy a box of Gold Rush apples at a local produce market that 
sources them from an almost local orchard. This years were purchased about a 
week before thanksgiving.
At the time of purchase the apples were so intensely sweet and intensely sour 
and extremely crunchy, that they were nearly inedible. I could only finish 
half an apple. I was a bit bummed, but I knew they would transform into the 
apple I love. They have transformed. Gold Rush is an amazing apple. An 
incredible balance of Sweet, Acid and Flavor with great texture. Not only 
that, they store very well. My supply should hold out till April. Then my 
thoughts will turn to berries.  It is a shame that it isnt a common 
supermarket variety.

And I believe the topics are defined as those places where the sun gets to be 
directly overhead at least one day of the year. So the tropic of cancer and 
the tropic of capricorn are the lines where the sun is directly overhead on 
the summer and winter solstices, respectively.

Similarly, the arctic and antarctic circles are defined as those places that 
have a "midnight sun"at least I've day of the year.
