  1. why thank you! i have ordered it for Christmas from my Wifey. incidently i pressed 4 gallons of apple juice in the end, i really hope it turns to cider and not vinegar! i lost the yeast for the final 3 and have thought i might as well see how nature manages it withought any sachets. after reading on google i wish i hadnt bothered!
  2. What an interesting fruit never heard of them before, apparently they have to be bletted (half rotten) before they're edible - according to BBC. Theres a recipe on there for a Walnut Bakewell tart with roasted medlars. also, http://www.rhs.org.u...es/Medlar-jelly for roasted meat. Also, what do they taste like?
  3. how difficult/costly would it be to host amateur weather station information, along the lines of Wunderground but with a twist. Although im not sure what the twist could be, although im sure there isnt a forum to discuss station data on Wunderground.
  4. i've earmarked this saturday as press day! i bought this little beauty http://www.wineworks.co.uk/product/5-litre-ferrari-aluminium-spindle-press/ wine making sounds like something i'd like to pursue and that book looks like what i should invest in (crimbo pressie!). cheers for the advice!
  5. Well, cider press arrived, apples pressed and juice now fermenting . First real experience of foraging albeit for only one of the many types of fruit, nut berry etc which are available. Anyone know how long apples tend to be around for, hoping to get 4 gallons worth of juice done by end of this weekend? Any suggestions for any readily available foragable(is that a word?!) fruit. cheers
  6. so southwest has reached the peak for gusts for today?
  7. morning guys, gusting around 30-35mph at the moment, which is higher than i expected.
  8. thanks Alan, very useful site. Might try ebay for the press but the crusher looks good as its cheap and only requires a drill!
  9. last year was my second ever Christmas with snow, the first was when i was 2 or 3 and we lived in Plymouth (im nearly 31). so i'd be ok with not having a white one, although it would be gert lush!
  10. think next year will try for home made cider, will purchase the press ready for following autumn. anyone got any tips - i know internet is full of it but any members who can recommend a decent press and also what apples to use!
  11. thunder heard over westbury, no visual on lightning - my wife is also in labour, which is quite surreal! note: and i dont mean the political party!
