This cider, our second &#8216;mix&#8217;, is a little bit thought out, in that I know two of the varieties for sure! It&#8217;s approximately one third Dabinet cider apples, one third Rosemary Russets and one third a random cooker scrumped from Farmer John next door. You can see what it used to look like back in December, <a href=\"https:\/\/merrybower.co.uk\/?p=2603\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As it used late varieties, in started to ferment, and then went dormant over winter, which is what I&#8217;ve been looking for. Come April it sprang back into life again and continued with a slow ferment. Still going this week with a bubble every twelve minutes or so from the airlock, I decided to measure the SG, which came out at around 1.000 &#8211; a bit above total dry. Bottling now is safe, but I don&#8217;t have the experience to know if there&#8217;s enough SG left to create a natural carbonation in the bottle &#8211; we&#8217;ll soon see, unless we drink it all before that happens! It did taste fuller bodied though, and a touch sweeter, but still very much a dry cider. This is the second time a Dabinet-based cider has overwintered, so this coming season I&#8217;ll make another version of Sydney Camm&#8217;s Marvel Machine, but replace the unknown cooker with a known variety, and bottle it with a slightly higher SG to ensure in-bottle carbonation.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sydney Camm&#8217;s Marvel Machine is a popular phrase amongst a group of friends sharing a passion for flighty things (not the poultry type) and has always been a name chosen to adourn a cider.
