Product Description
Review
"This slender 32-page paperback, with its newspaper-quality black-and-white photos and no-nonsense layout, provides an overview of this age-old craft. The book explains the techniques and traditions of the rustic orchardists of Britain and northwestern Europe. Not exactly a how-to book; it's more of a genteel discussion of a fine traditional rural handcraft." -Renaissance Magazine (August 2009)
Product Description
Cider has been made in pastoral areas of Britain and north-western Europe since ancient times and the techniques of rural cider makers are still in use today. This book explains the methods and traditions of the rustic orchardist and farm cider maker and describes the procedures of the travelling Victorian with his portable cider mill and press. The author also discusses modern, factory-based cider production, influenced by the time-honoured customs of the past, yet adapted to producing large quantities of cider for the mass consumer markets of the twentieth century.

This is not a cidermaking handbook., Jun 18 2001
By Sam Glasscock - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Cidermaking (Paperback)
This is an interesting, but quite brief (30 pp.) history of British cidermaking. It is NOT a manual from which the reader can learn to make hard cider. If you are looking for a how-to book, look elsewhere.
