From traditions reaching deep into American and European history, the art of making fine craft ciders is at once satisfying and simple. In this class we will start by pressing some juice. You'll also learn about blending, yeast choices, racking, and bottling, and we'll finish the day with a tasting session. All supplies like apples, carboys, and samplers will be provided for demonstration in class. Participants are welcome to bring their own apples and containers if they are interested in starting a batch of their own.

You will need the following tools for this class:

All required tools/materials are provided by your instructor and North House and will be available once the course begins.

You are also encouraged to bring a sample of a cider from your local region to taste and share.
