Cider, Hard and Sweet History, Traditions, and Making Your Own Book

An excellent overview of the apple-related arts - orcharding, milling, brewing, distilling, and cooking, complete with a short history of cider. Even if you have no plans of making your own cider, with this book, you will become a connoisseur of apple varieties and gain a full vocabulary of words to describe future cider tastings. Because home distilleries are still illegal in most parts of the states, there is only a brief overview of the techniques used in making apple spirits. An inspiring and informative book. I am passing the book on to friends who have an apple tree in their yard.
