Hi there, I made 40l of cider last year, and it's been very dry and sharp, has mellowed a bit over the summer though I used a 60(eaters)/40(cookers) mix as couldn't lay my hands on any cider apples, and carried out the fermentation for a couple of weeks from 1055OG down to 1000OG and bottled up with...
