Coals to Newcastle!

Can't cope won't cope!
All batches tried so far this year are not up to par - thin and yucky. Hardly worth bottling. Definitely not up to my usual standard... with a bit of apple juice it's like bought stuff!
This is the folly of making more than you can handle - biting and chewing and all that...
It hasn't helped putting off cider jobs for other activities, but there's only so many hours in a day.
On the plus side the 25 litres I gave Tony were well received - he's taking it it to Dorset to a steam fair. I told him he could always mix it with the local stuff!
Hopefully the later batches will be better...
