Cider was brewed early February so almot 9 months old now.

Sunday was the old boys birthday so we celebrated by opening a bottle of
still cider. Very dry. Tasted of cider but not the best. Drinkable with
some lemonade added, but too dry.

Tonight wife & I sampled some sparkling cider. Not much of a psssssst
out of the bottle, more of a 'st'. Not very active on the sparkling
side. Tasted ok, not as harsh as the still. More of a muted flavour.

Over all not the success one had hoped for. This weekend coming I will
try a couple more bottles with a mate. Maybe, just maybe.

I reckon I may have received some duff advice from Charlie somewhere
along the line. Should've known he'd put me crook.

I made some dry mead years ago. It was kind of nasty at six months. A
year later, it was really good. Don't dump those bottles, give 'em
some more time and they might surprise you.
