Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Apple pressing - Saturday morning 10.30 15th Sept, Wightman Road
Hiya folks,
My Bramleys have started to fall and I did my first pressing of 2012 on Friday last. I expect to have accumulated enough fruit for a further load (ie about 30-40 kg) by the weekend so I propose to do another pressing on Saturday morning.
Anyone who wants to help or is simply interested in the process is welcome to come (with children - who can help and/or play in the garden). There is not a lot of work involved. The jobs are: rinsing and cutting the apples, grating them to pulp, putting it all in the press, screwing it down and tasting the product. Alone this lot would take me no more than three hours but watching visitors do it is more fun!
I intend to pasteurise the first 10 litres. The rest will either be drunk fresh or fermented to cider.
2012 is not going to be a bumper year (nowhere near the vast crops of 2009 and 2010) but I hope to end up with enough juice to last till well into 2013.
Let me know if you wish to come and say whether you need directions.

You were welcome. Whaddaya mean, moving to Leighton Buzzard? Would it help if we gave our hood a double barrelled name? Crouch End Orientalis? Flouchington Parva? Sarum Vicinatus?
