Time to Bottle

We are washing bottles and getting ready to bottle "Hard to the Core" Apple cider so it has time to chill before tonight. I'm sure pics of tonight festivities will be posted over the next few days.

Apple Cider

With Halloween is rapidly approaching we are preparing to bottle the apple cider (still nameless). On Friday the 14th of October I added about 1/2 bottle of wine conditioner (approx. 8oz) Today 20 October I am racking it for a final time then will let it age for the next week and bottle a few days before it is to be opened on Halloween.

Today I also helped Mr. Yang start his own batch of "The Battle of Concord"

I added half of a bottle of wine conditioner to the Apple Cider Must today...Friday I will add pure apple cider after I rack it. Then after 6 days I will bottle.

All is good
