Do you have a cider recipe, I have loads of cox's ?

[cider man]

Hi I dont have any recipes as making cider is a pretty straight forward process (so I've read) I've read that you need a good mix of sweet, bitter sweet, and sharp apples to make a good cider so thats why I've gone for my 3 choices. I don't see why you cant make cider out of just one type of apple. You may not win any awards but hey . . . . you will still get tipsy.

[kentish girl]

sounds like a plan !!

[northepaul]

Ooh sounds great, and dont cider apples have such great names!!

[cider man]

Yes they do have great names. I just cant believe how many varieties there are.
My trees are being delivered after Xmas. I cant wait.

Is this a good time of year to buy and plant apple trees then?

[cider man]

Between December and March apparently.
