    I’ve watched a few of these how to make cider videos and I must say, your method is by far the simplest to follow and un-complicated. Thank you

    Just found this. Great video. Simple but fairly comprehensive. Slow easy steps and additional info. Thanks I hope to make some ‘uncomplicated cider’ this year. Now subscribed 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    Excellent stuff! I'd probably re-use swing-top beer bottles for a cider with fizz though. Sturdy, and the washer "should" help prevent explosions. On that note, HALF A TEASPOON OF SUGAR PER LITRE, AND NO MORE!!!! And leave somewhere quite cool for secondary ferment, so not too vigorous....unless you fancy picking bits of cider-scented glass out of the woodwork for months.

    Oh I just saw who you both are. Yes city life is crazy.. I have 're small holding in Latvia (long story), but it's mortar free. Small orchard, need planting of plum trees, black/red currant. Small kitchen garden which want to expand.

    Brilliant as usual. My Nan always used to do this but then she had about four orchards at her disposal. Had not thought about making still cider, then making it into ACV/and/or drinking still cider. That leaves with a lot of options. I have a proper press in the shed from a well known company. Shall have to pay a visit to my local veg shop and see what they have as have never made still cider before. Keep up the good work and the inspiration.

    It's great to know you can make malt vinegar out of cider. I'm amazed, we an make all this stuff just with a bit of time. We all just running around in a barrow to make ends meet. Crazy world we live in.
