It's been a relatively easy day at work with nothing particular to report, two customer drops, one store drop and a collection from Navenby. Navenby is south of Lincoln on the A15, I usually go through the edge of Lincoln since it's reasonably straight forward. On the good side I bottled seventy five liters of cider at the weekend, the first batch of last years production. As usual with the early cider it is lacking in depth of flavor when compared to the later pressings. I have racked off half my later batches and tasted a little of each while running it into a clean container and every batch shows the promise of a more complex flavor. Hopefully this will develop over the next few months before bottling. Last year a large proportion of my cider was too acid for my taste though my wife found it okay, This year I have used a yeast strain that claims to metabolise a proportion of the acid, this seems to have worked but time will tell.
See you tomorrow.
