Other bits & pieces...
BBC Hereford & Worcester asked me to do a video diary about cider making and the Little Cider Press - so take a look!
Accomodation
Herefordshire Tourist Information gives information on a range of accomodation as well as other activities in Herefordshire including the Cider Cycling Route.
Accomodation local to Putley,
Cider makers Mary & David run a rural B&B . Pixley End Camping and Caravan site is conveniently situated next to the Trumpet Inn which has good food and ales. Or enjoy a luxurious night at The Verzon House Hotel at Trumpet where rooms are named after local apples.
Further Information
There are some excellent web sites:
www.cider.org.uk is Andrew Lea's web site and he has some excellent information and guidance
UK Cider site has lots of useful information from and about other craft cider makers
There are some easy-to read-books which are all mentioned on other web sites - but
Real Cidermaking On a Small Scale by Michael Pooley and John Lomax dedicates a chapter on Troubleshooting which will also explain why we are so fastidious about cleanliness at every stage of the process!
Cider-Making Supplies
Sodium metabisulphite for sterilising containers, syphon tubing and airlocks can be found on a number of brewing shops or on-line. We have used www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk
