| Posted by Dancing is hard work…and hard work is a dance. Making cider is hard work too and uses lots of technology. While many are thinking about their Halloween costumes I am focused on one thing.
Apples.
Every year my family and friends get together to make cider under the direction of my father, Stephen Schultz. We use a blend of Golden Russet, Red Spy and Northern Spy apples to make the juice and a special line of cider yeast to process the fermentation. In time we filter it, chill it and put in bubbles. We make enough to share with friends and raise spirits throughout the year.
Next weekend is time again to make cider. Above is a timelapse from last years apple crushing extravaganza. Check out the apples, the cool hydraulic press and all those bodies moving. I work for my apple juice with an ensemble cast. Its a labor of love and it feels like dancing.
