Product Description
Cider has recently seen a surge of popularity both in versions produced by large breweries and by small producers and home cider-makers who value taste and complexity. This book takes us through the history and practicalities, and introduces the concepts and techniques of craft cider production. It looks at the different styles of cider, and the effect of fruit variety, climate and orchard location on the finished drink, and the book concludes with a suggested method for the home cider maker. This is the perfect introduction for anyone considering cider making, and a fascinating explanation of the history and process of real cider production for anyone who just enjoys drinking it.

Format:Paperback
This is a jolly little tome. As befits any "how to.........." guide it is written by an obvious enthusiast. Indeed, by the end of the book one is concerned for his liver. The book is fascinating, the historical place of cider in England's history is well-described and is both informative and illuminating. After this the whole process of turning the humble apple into a vintage brew is described, the level of detail is more than adequate to enable home-brewing by the novice. All that's needed are some apples, some space and, as well illustrated by the book an accommodating spouse!

Being a young, amateur Cider enthusiast this book was a perfect read. Mckie has hit on every aspect of the growing, making, tasting and obvious enjoyment of the cider world. The book is concise, interesting, informative and easy to understand. Whether you are just starting your 'cider journey' or looking to add to your knowledge, McKie's Making Craft Cider is perfect.

This book is entitled a 'Ciderist's Guide' and the title could not be more accurate. This charming booking about the intricacies of Craft Cider making is a perfect read for any keen amateur ciderist. Informative, clear and thoughtful Simon Mckie has written a book that is the perfect accompaniment to any home cider brewing endeavour. Not only this but the book is also a fascinating read for the concise history of craft cider making, and the obvious enthusiasm of the author. The book will appeal to any keen ciderist but also, if stumbled upon by a complete novice, is sure to spark an interest in craft cider that has hitherto lain dormant.
An articulate, helpful and passionate account about a drink that is as ancient, subtle and complicated as any fine wine.
