Andrew Lea's book is a fantastic resource for the home and "up and coming" craft cidermaker alike. Given Andrew's history in the trade as a biochemist as well as running his own hobby orchard, he provide a plethora of information for the science geeks as well as the newcomer. In particular, the highlights on cider faults and also sulphiting and pH are brilliant. Of the 10+ cider books/manuals I own, I value this one the most.

Just enough science to make you feel you understand some of the chemistry that goes on during pressing and fermentation. The author certainly knows his stuff and if you want only one book on the subject, this is it.

I've made quite reasonable cider for a couple of years and decided it was time to check out an "instruction manual". Although I have read it only once and therefore only partly digested the contents - it has helped reassure me as to some of the stuff I do and point me towards what I hope will be better brews. It has encouraged me to buy some real cider apple trees too.

A must have for any cider makers library.
This book is a must for anyone serious about their cider making. Andrew helped 'save' my first ever batch of cider some 10 years ago and I've not looked back since. Read more

Craft Cider Making
I bought this as a gift for friends. They were very pleased with it though it did seem to me to be quite expensive for quite a small book. Read more
