Two years ago, Maddie and Nathan ventured to Central Mass to Cider Days (I was home tending to my 18 month old with a broken heel who was not allowed to walk!). Nathan returned with a new hobby - cider making. And so we ventured into the world of home brewing - and all it requires. This year, we were happy to head out as a family on a crisp beautiful day. Our first stop was a family farm that presses their own cider. We spent a long time helping mash apples and press juice in the shed.
Nothing like roasting your own hotdog! They didn't serve ketchup for some reason, only mustard which I clearly found strange. We continued on our tour stopping at a few more cider day festivities. Nathan even got to do a tasting and listen to a talk for a bit. We ended the day at a farm where, no joke, we pulled our car up to the barn, tromped out with our 10 gallon jug, stuck the cider hose in and filled er up with cider for our brewing. It was real old school. Now, we'll see if the cider turns out. The batch from two years ago was pretty rough.
