    My new barrel has arrived and the cider seems to have brewed nicely while I've been away. Managed to get the cider into the barrel just now actually. Added a bit of sugar, just to carbonate it a bit. I'm going to try the finished version on Tuesday, fingers crossed, hopefully it won't be too bad.

    Shame that all the posts on the first page are about absolutely terrible ciders that don't merit mention. There's a splendid scrumpy at 7.5% that one can just drink by the litre (they come in lovely 2l glass bottles), I will post it on here once I can find its name.
    Anyone who happens to be around Tunbridge Wells should certainly head to Noble Wines and pick up a bottle!

    Welcome! It's not the easiest cider to drink if you're not into strong ones, but it is very pleasant. Pretty good as scrumpies available in the East go.

    Pippins? The only one I can think off.

    Anyone in Kent tried Rough Old Wife? Canterbury brewed.

    Nope, doesn't look like that one. Sounds like another for me to try though!
