stuartbert two hats Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Cider has been coming up on other threads as regularly as Radiohead used to before we got it out of our system, so I want a dedicated thread for cider. I bloody love the stuff, a realer the better. I'm looking at these two: https://www.eebria.com/products/cider/yarde-cider/774-yarde-real-cider-3-litre-bag-in-box https://www.eebria.com/products/cider/severn-cider/5960-brown-snout-still-cider-5-litre-dry What's everyone going to be bringing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Interesting Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Where to start......... Pretty much anything by this lot - https://rosscider.com/ Not sure how easy it is to get hold of though. Also have a look at this place - https://www.facebook.com/TheHatSeaton/ - loads of ciders there from the exotic to the driest of all dry ciders.

dj_conway Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 Was wondering about Cider this morning. More specifically, wondering if the 3 for £21 will come back for Strongbow Dark Fruit before the 26th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barneym Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 This man is a legend http://wilkinscider.com/ visited his farm a couple of years ago, he just gives you a half pint glass and it’s help yourself. Dry, sweet or a mix of the two. We were such a fan we ordered 20l for our wedding you just call him up and he arranged to post it to London using Royal Mail. He didn’t even want advance payment just said to send him a cheque once it arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can happily report back that it appears to be an old wives tale, or maybe just an issue for people with dodgy digestion Good job really, as I'd already bought 25Ls of the stuff to bring along (albeit between three of us!)

Saw a Wilkins Cider flag popping up a lot one year, so I know we aren’t the only fans. Only thing i’d say is one year we all bought a load of 5l containers on one of the hot years. By the second day the containers were all swelling up ready to explode! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosj Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 We've ordered stuff from Lilley's previously and picked up on the way down, but this year, my mate is bringing some from his village in Dorset, so I think that will be scrumpier than usual. I'll get told off by mates on site as these are out of the county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Port Wine Of Glastonbury runs it a close second. fits with the case that if it isn't from Somerset you have to ask if it is really cider ?

I think they're all similar. Lilly's and Roger Wilkin both told me that the bags keep for about a month once opened. I imagine Heck's will be much the same. If Roger's stuff keeps, then anything will, since it's about as natural as you can get. I suppose a really weak, natural cider with added sugar might go off sooner, but I'd expect anyone who got into the adulteration to that extent will have added preservatives. Personally, I'm aiming to have my cider arrive the week before the festival and to open it on the Wednesday and finish it by the Saturday. That should be a short enough window to stay fresh.

I took 25L in 5L bladders in 2015 which was a fairly warm one and I didn't have any issues I kept them in rucksack in my tent and found they kept quite chilled, the last one was actually cold on Monday morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
