Apple Cider (A flashback post from Fall 2013)

We had a great time honing our cider making skills this past fall.  With plenty of cider pressed and plenty of fun had (and only one near trip to the emergency room and one person passing out on the job!) it was a great season.

Crushing!
Sampling!
Everyone wants to try a taste!
