December
The temperature is now low enough for keeving. The apples in storage will be milled and
pressed. The juice will then be left to ferment very
slowly at ambient temperatures of less than 5°C.
January
January will be a quiet month when all
the jobs are done that were simply too far down the priority list to be of any
consequence before. The Keeved cider, however, will form a cap and
the cider between the cap and the ‘defecation’ will be racked off.
February
The First Law and the Sparkling Elderflower Wine has been fermenting and it now needs racking off so that it can begin to clear.
Similarly, the keeved cider needs racking off to slow the rate of fermentation. This cider is bottle conditioned. So towards the end of the month it will need bottling just before its fermentation has finished
