Look at the perfectly normal and adequate sized ear of corn I just picked from my garden yesterday.

Natural ferment already kicking off when I checked earlier. Just ground and pressed most of this the 18th, but some I ground the 18th but couldn’t press until the 19th. Those were smelling like they were already kicking off, so I think I got a head start.

Dadgum threads broke on my cider press ratchet. I wasn’t done pressing yet! Going to have to make a call tomorrow to talk about the warranty.

Finished up a bottle of last year’s cider. I this one with apples from a cemetery that I harvested a year ago today. No idea on the variety. Spontaneous fermented and bottle carbed dry. Really pleased - first time I’ve considered submitting to GLINTCAP.

Picture of part of my apple family this cool morning in Minnesota. Don’t mind the grass, it’s a no-mow yard. Closest to furthest: Hewe’s Crab, Major, Roxbury Russet - all on B.118 rootstock.

The cider press and grinder are all set up on their new platforms I made for them this year. Feel pretty solid if I say so myself.

Fantastic #drink from Keepsake Cidery in #minnesota. I get notes of pear and vanilla that are just awesome on the abnormally warm winter day #drinkcider

You all @cidervoice.bsky.social mentioned Keepsake Cidery in #Minnesota on your podcast before and I wanted to affirm how great they are! I’m getting notes of pear and vanilla in this one. Really recommend if you guys get over to the states soon. #cider

Friendly reminder that #nomow helps keep bugs and insects around, which in turn fuels your local wildlife.

I can’t wait to see our neighborhood turkeys again this #Spring we watched these little guys grow up from fluff balls to adults in 2024
