Maybe Drew is forbidden for promoting his book since he is a member of the Governing Committee, but I’m surprised this hasn’t been posted here. This little beauty is on a plane/truck/bicycle/whatever on its way to me (delivery tomorrow).
Yeah, I just wasn’t sure about how kosherized it would be for me to promote it here - but in the meanwhile, reaction seems to be good! More people should buy it so I can make more stuff!
I’m through the first few chapters, which are definitely geared toward the beginner cider maker. Flipping through the next chapters, I see a lot of in depth info which looks like it’s going to make it a worthwhile purchase. I’m looking forward to reading it.
Yeah, the goal of the book was to make a cider book that didn’t start with “In order to make great cider, you need great apples. In order to get great apples, you must first plant an orchard”
My humble opinion says promote it. But this brings up a question… In a non-BJCP, people’s choice competition, is it kosher (sorry) to have beer and cider on one ballot?
Hell, I’ve mixed beer, mead and cider together in a BJCP BOS in some of these tiny competitions around the area. I think non-BJCP peoples’ choice would be just fine.
