2012’s Cider – “Lisia Melange”

Posted by in Cider Brewing

I’ve finally racked off and bottled this years cider called “Lisia Melange” … in recognition that its a complete mixture all types of apples … any that I could get my hands on really … so a big thank-you to everyone who ‘donated’ them , they shall all be rewarded with a bottle or 2.

Having planted some specialised cider apples recently, hopefully I can experiment in the future by blending the 7 different varieties I will have at my disposal 😀
