THE
CRAFT CIDER REVIVAL
There's been a great revival of interest in craft
cidermaking in the
last few years. Some of this maybe rides on the back of the
'Magners effect', so people perhaps are trying industrial cider and then
wondering what the 'real thing' is like. Other
people are starting from the 'slowfood' or 'low food miles' position
and want to know how they can enage with the true craft product as a
manifestation of .those concerns.
Either way, for the producer, there are a number of technical
challenges to give a consumer-friendly product of high quality that
offers consistent enjoyment. I've given a number of talks on
this in the last few years and at this link
you can find some notes as a PDF file from the most developed one. No
slides as such, but the slide text is all there.
