2014 update

Last year’s production got barrelled today, using the newly purchased oak and chestnut barrels.

Now we wait to see what affect they have on the taste….. exciting times!

2014 season over?

Very poor season this year for Woodley Sider, seems the apple supply has finished with only 14 gallons produced for the year! Very limited editions for this year, still hoping to utilise the newly purchased barrels though.

Anyone out there with any apples then please get in touch.

Batch 2 pressed…

This years 2nd batch of Sider has been pressed, 6 gallons this time made from apples from Brimpton Common. Initial specific gravity readings put this batch at a potentially healthy 6.3%.

Woodley Sider House Pint Glass

Fancy one of these for drinking your Woodley Sider from?

Yours for £12 (cost is high because I can’t buy in bulk!) and I’ll throw in 3 bottles of Sider of your choice, from whatever is available at the time.

First investment of the year!

Just placed an order for two 30ltr barrels, one chestnut (should sweeten the cider) and one oak (should oak-age the cider) which will be used post fermentation (and probably after a double racking) to enhance the flavour of some of this years Sider.
