December
The temperature is now low enough for
keeving and the apples in storage are milled and pressed. The juice is left to ferment very slowly at
ambient temperatures of less than 5°C.
January
January is 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 now have formed a cap and the cider between the cap and the ‘defecation’ is racked off. The picture below is taken from above. All the cider has been racked off and it shows just how strange the cap and the ‘defecation’ look.
