What a great way to start the ANZAC day public holidays than baking ANZAC biscuits using the really old CWA recipe we have. They always come out amazingly!

One cup each of flour, caster sugar, rolled oats. 3/4 cup desiccated coconut. 125g of butter, 2tbl of golden syrup, one tsp bicarb and one tbl of cold water.

Mix all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl, melt butter and golden syrup together. Mix water and bicarb. When butter and syrup is fully melted, quickly whisk in the water/bicarb and the add to dry ingredients. Mix all together and roll golf ball sized bits of the dough onto a tray. Flatten slightly and bake in 180c oven for approx ten to twelve minutes. Cool and enjoy.

When you finally get the keeve to fully work in your conical fermenter after four seasons of trying. First pic is the chapeau which I’ll get rid of tomorrow and then you can see the very clear lightly fermenting cider on the side of it. Running at 10c

Make sure if you’re in Canberra today to come out to the Brindabella Xmas markets!

Selling our apple brandy which would be a great Xmas present for the cider lovers out there.

I’m quite sad this is one of the few photos I have of David. Man what a legend to the cider community. I’ll miss you so much my friend. Vale.

It’s that time of the year when you want something hot and boozy, perfect time for a mulled cider!

Take one traditional style dry cider such as our Somerset Redstreak cider and in a pot add the ingredients show above. From top left star anise, brown sugar, cinnamon, elderflower, cardamom, orange peel, juniper berries, bay, rosemary and pop then all into a small style mesh bag, tea infuser or hop spider. Simmer to 65c and pour into your favourite sipping mug.

Huzzah!

Wow. It is finally time to post what has been five years in the making. We have a Calvados! Not that we can officially call it that but it is what it is.

After what started as an off hand conversation over five years ago with Tim, we have a limited release of just under 200 bottles of this wonderful tasting apple brandy. Beautifully smooth and with gorgeous cider notes this brandy has been distilled from our full cider apple cider and then oaked for a long time. The result is magnificent!

I cannot thank Tim, Paul, Leo and many others from .distillery enough for their massive work in helping this come to pass. I’m eternally grateful.

If you’d like a bottle send me a message.

When the apple karma fairies throw you a googlie in a most unexpected way.

Three buckets of keeve fruit milled, and then your scratter motor goes “clunk”. Dead as a dodo.

It is of course Easter Thursday after 5pm. Call around anyone I know locally who may potentially have a scratter I can borrow, but like me it’s apple season and everyone is busy!

Luckily I know these awesome guys at in Melbourne who were able to source me a new Voran 3 phase industrial quality mill. Should last me a lifetime now.

And then when I get back, the 3 phase plug doesn’t fit into my outlet. Special thanks out to Dean our sparky friend extraordinaire just down the road who got me out of trouble. Thanks !!

After the egg hunt it will be mill like crazy to get this done before we go on our cruise on Tuesday. Keeve juice can sit at 2c until I get back to add the enzyme.

Fingers crossed. What else could go wrong?

Well it’s the beginning of that time of the year again. This trailer load is a special load of fruit destined for the third attempt of the black art of keeving. After many attempts and talking to experts from France, it’s mainly about fruit selection.

This trailer load (insider the garage so the possums won’t get it) is mainly sweets and bitter sweets with a small selection of bitter sharps and some acidic apples. Keeves don’t like too much acid apparently so fingers crossed!

On the plus side, my whole garage now smells of delicious cider fruit!
