thats_a_five Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Yum. Fresh whole cider is the best. Nothing like that purified, reconstituted apple juice they sell in the stores. If you have a mind to, you can add some things, and ferment it into hard cider. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totty79 Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I brew with raspberries and brambles from the garden and hedges, also done a couple of batches of rhubarb when given some. Made cider once, but used a juicer as I don't have a press - the juicer pulping the skin in made it green, but it went down alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyted Posted September 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Made Vodka out of Quince . It's about the only thing that tastes nice that you can make from them things . We had wheel barrows full of the things . We used to have Slows,Nectarine,plum and Mirabelle growing in our garden when we lived abroad . Mirabelle is really alcoholic bearing fruit and when they fall,you can smell them starting to ferment , The product " Eau de Vie " that's water of life to you and i , is made from them in France . Proper kick in the balls from that stuff . The French put sugar with the drink in the glass ,ramps up the alcohol . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to hear more about these sort of antics,have you ever heard of 44/44 ? Home produced liqueur made with coffee . One lump or two sir ?
