Pressed about 200 lbs of early Yellow Transparent apples from gramma's house in Saint Maries, Idaho (these are beautiful old trees) into about 10 gallons of cider. Pitched Montrachet and EC-1118 yeast and the next day I had the beginnings of my first batch of cider. In August, no less. The beginning of what I hope to be a long and successful journey to becoming a cidermaker. Not just as a hobby, but as my livelihood. I will take many steps, but these first ones are some of the best!
