  • How!
    This is a nice little bit of our cyder-making heritage.
    A well known and greatly missed old countryman and his pals making cyder with a twin-screw press in the 1970s (or early 80s)
    They are using eating and cooking apples and so this is probably not a cyder county (where the use of pucker cyder fruit would have been/is the norm). Hampshire perhaps, possibly fimed during the time the presenter lived in that shire. That Charlie looks a right card! We wont see his like again - or will we?
    R.I.P. Jack - thank you for showing us 'How' to do so many things.

    I have stayed with a cider farm's owners for the last 2 years in the New Forest. I first came across the husband in the late 1990's at Barleylands steam fayre. They get a local butcher to make sausages with their cider. Best I have tasted.

    We make it exactly the same way today in South Warwickshire. Only thing to add: Jack didn't mention for us the machine that pulps the apples is known as a scratter. Oh, and we fold the hessian into 'cheeses' - not biscuits! (and feed the pigs with what's left of it!). Cheers

    Marvellous program , Jack Hargreaves was a voice of the ways to survive and feed the country . That cider would have been tasty , I travelled around the west of the country over the years from Poole to the Welsh borders and I helped out at a few cider presses if a hand was needed and I've tasted the best cider out of a wooden barrel and I've not tasted the like for a while .

    Thanks for this video.
    I make my own retirement hobby cider, I planted 15 cider trees some years back so I chose the trees to cross pollinate and to get the right acid balance, I also have 2 Brambly if it needs correcting.
    Port barrels vary in size but are longer than a wine cask and thus resemble an old clay pipe in shape. Port being fortified means there was less risk of any residue turning to vinegar.
    Also wooden barrels sometimes retained a bacteria, which allowed for malo-lactic fermentation, whereby the harsher Malic was converted into the softer Lactic acid in the ageing process.

  • @garymontesano5903
    @garymontesano5903 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I noticed that some of the gentlemen drank their glasses of cider in one go. The downside of that approach is only having a single flavor experience at the very end. Whereas if you take a sip at a time, you get to taste each of them, thereby maximizing the amount of pleasure from that one glass. Lip smacking occurs automatically. Many thanks from a cider-making Oregonian in the USA.

      Real men don't worry about trivial things like that, it all comes out in same place. I think their logic is, the quicker you slam it, the quicker you pee to make room for another 🤩 its about quantity not quality, contrary to recent beliefs 🤠

      I expect that connoisseurs of quality whiskey and homemade apple cider will take issue with your pronouncement. However, if you only buy commercial cider and rot gut, maybe it's best to get it over with as soon as possible. But since when is savoring a trivial consideration.@@Bear2U

    Had my first taste (and got pissed on it) at age 11. Denings of Higher Farm, Up Mudford, Near Yeovil, Somerset. Had their own mini Cider Factory on the farm. A Pitcher was always put out in the field when we were haymaking so that workers could help themselves. I would work there during school holidays and would be responsible for shovelling the apples into the slicer upstairs.

      На этого человека, «Джека Харгривса», (Jack Hargreaves) было приятно смотреть. Хотя в детстве он каждую неделю появлялся в детской телепрограмме. Однажды мы рассказали, как изготавливают или ремонтируют колесо телеги, а на следующей неделе мы наблюдали, как он ловил рыбу в реке или делал сабо. На следующей неделе он объяснит, для чего использовался определенный инструмент. Все эти уездные искусства и навыки были потеряны, когда умер последний из мастеров.
      Я вспомнил о нем, когда в нашей местной газете был рассказ о том, как последний традиционный ловец угря ушел на пенсию, положив конец тысячелетним традициям в этой области.
      Мистер Харгривз оказал глубокое влияние на многих представителей моего поколения.
