Cider Bus Cider - Now Available Online

I ordered my 10L on Wednesday evening and it arrived this morning, incredibly quick delivery! I suspect I'll be ordering another box before Glasto weekend.

I must resist opening it until this evening!

Lol. I feel guilty about all the producers and stall holders missing out on revenue throughout the festival season

I'm doubling my efforts.

We owe it to them..we owe it to ourselves !

This is true....How doe sone make it spicy? Does anyone know what they use? 

Is the dry cider they start with? Ten add what spice? Would be good to recreate it. 

Don't know what they use, but I feel fairly sure they used to sell their mix on their website.

Ooh, hot+spicy with some brandy on cool damp morning before the sun comes out. Only a year and a couple of weeks to go!

 

 

Hopefully.

Ordered Friday and arrived today - cider almost bursting out of the box! Now I need to try resist drinking it until next week.

Stupid question, as i never bought a box of cider before, should i be storing in the fridge or not?

Only if you have space (I rarely do for the massive boxes) and you want to drink it cold. It should keep for at least 1 month.

I generally decant some of it into bottles or jugs to put in the fridge and drink cold, or if I'm really concerned about it keeping, freeze in 2l bottles.  Although that might cause plastic leeching, so might be a bad idea.

No - try and store it somewhere cool (not cold) and out of direct sunlight though if you can.

Is it harmful to store it somewhere cold, or just not necessary? 

[rob.a]

Cheers both. I'll just keep in the garage, then cool it down when and if needed.

No, I don't think it's harmful, it's just not necessary.

Personal stash ordered. Box for our communal gathering also ordered. It is nice to have a bit of Glastonbury come home

Got my supply this morning.

Cheered me up a little.

My friend is jealous of my cider and has now purchased her own, but is freaking out about a "use by date". I told her scrumpy doesn't concern itself with such things, but she isn't having any of it. 

So once open, you're good for at least a month in a cool place, yeh? (as if its going to last a whole month)

Just done a quick search online, most places say 2-3 months for bagged cider once it's been opened, a couple say longer. Just make sure it's in a cool place, like a garage or larder. Doesn't have to be cold, i.e. in a fridge.

It ain't proper gear unless there are floater's.

Count as one of your five a day

I actually think it tastes nicer cool rather than cold, but each to their own. I don't believe it is served cold at the festival.

Just took in a delivery not meant for my eyes....looks like someone's got me some cider for my glast-home-birthday 🍻

[gigpusher]

Does anyone know if there are any food stalls from Glastonbury that are doing any food deliveries?
