After a stop at both Cost Plus World Market<\/a> for spices and Linens ‘n Things<\/a> for a citrus zester, I swung by Yates Cider Mill<\/a> and picked up six gallons of cider. Mmm… Guess what it’s going to be? Hehe…<\/p>\n

Hopefully I’ll get everything mixed up and sulfited (to kill off any organics before I add the yeast) sometime tomorrow. It’ll likely involve warming a gallon of cider, stirring in the honey, maple syrup, yeast nutrient, yeast energizer, and lactose, then putting that gallon plus four and a half more in the carboy, adding sulfite, stirring the hell out of it, and letting it sit for three days. Then after those few days I’ll go ahead and dump the yeast in, and hopefully ferment properly.<\/p>\n

I’ve got quite the sugar high from the doughnuts I purchased at the cider mill. Wow. I also had to remember to wash my hands after petting the sheep and goat at the cider mill before eating the doughnut. Wool tends to be quite dirty, probably because it’s really good at soaking things up.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here are some other pictures from today:<\/p>\n

· Dixie Crimson Voodoo Ale, which I purchased because I believe the brewery has been completely destroyed.<\/a>
\n· Linens ‘n Things seems to be selling the Speck iGuy. They are really cute in person.<\/a>
\n· Pictures of sheepies and a goat from Yates: 1<\/a>, 2<\/a>, 3<\/a>, 4<\/a>, 5<\/a>
\n· The apple press inside of Yates.<\/a><\/p>\n

Oh, and yes, I know the cider is pasteurized… I’m fine with that, as it is quite tasty, so it should still be pretty good. It has no preservatives, so I have to make it quickly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
