3:30 How to Make Hard Cider:
Sponsored by: Peconic Bay Winery
Presented by: Zander Hargrave, Assistant Winemaker & Cidermaker, Peconic Bay Winery
The typical 18th-century American imbibed an average of 34 gallons of hard cider a year. A far cry from those colonial levels of cider-quaffing, there’s been a resurgence of artisanal cider-making, both hard and sweet, that’s putting cider back in the spotlight. Brewing hard cider from nonalcoholic, or “sweet” cider is a process almost any cider-lover can do at home. Attend this seminar to learn the ways of hard cider culture and get introduced to hard cider making—the process, tools, and apple selection.
Session presenter, Zander Hargrave, comes from a long line of Long Island wine influencers and currently works as Assistant Winemaker at Peconic Bay Winery in Cutchogue, NY where he has also earned the unofficial title of "Cider Czar" taking on the winery's new hard cider program. |
