One of the most award-winning cideries in Oregon is #2TownsCiderhouse, with many awards earned across a wide selection of its ciders, and recently it brought home more metal from the LA Invitational Wine & Spirits Challenge. In particular, its new year-round Guava Get Down snagged three medals, and several of the Cosmic Crisp ciders earned silver medals as did two of the Craftwell Cocktails line.

Meanwhile, drinking some cider I bottled in October last year, which must be nearly a year old. It's matured nicely and I think it's great. Mixed apples, mostly foraged, including a healthy dose of crab apples, and an oak stick thrown in the carboy for a couple of months. Spritzig, spicy and raisin notes, dry, decent body, lovely gold colour, about 8% alcohol.

In other words, I'm getting high on my own supply.

Yesterday I got around to pressing apples I got from Kathy's dad three weeks ago.

Turned out to be about 32 kg of apples, which yielded 19l of juice. Probably could have got a a bit more but ... I'd spent 5 hours washing, prepping, grinding and pressing, and I had a dinner invitation, so another half hour to squeeze out maybe one more litre wasn't appealing.

It's all in a fermenter now. This batch is destined to be distilled for apple brandy. In a week or two I'm heading out foraging and it will be for cider, using feral apple trees and some crab apples I've sourced, and even a few Kingston Black apples from my own garden.
