Hard Boyz Cider

After a few seasons of helping folks with their cider projects, in the fall of 2024 I harvested, pressed, fermented and bottled 10 gallons of hard cider from wild, foraged apples in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Wild yeasts and no additives made for a truly delicious dry cider, half of which we kept still, and the other half we made sparkling by adding a bit of local wild honey for a secondary fermentation in the bottle.
