Download or read book Cider Making from Your Garden written by Charlie Henley and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2017-02-09 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A very simple, low cost, English family's method for making cider from apples from your own garden. It will work anywhere that apples grow - from Scotland to Tasmania - and can be used with a single apple tree. North Americans please note, in England 'cider' means alcoholic 'hard apple cider' - and this is the booklet's sole focus. This booklet is a thoroughly practical guide, written from 16 years of amateur experience of making quite large quantities of garden cider. Starting out from some English and Canadian cider lore, this method has been improved by trial and error, rather than from scientific understanding of cider. This booklet will most benefit a complete beginner, who wants to do something with all those apples landing on their lawn. In particular it will delight anyone who has been viewing 'simple cider making' books but finding they all sound quite complicated. Here at last is a truly simple, but tried and tested, approach! Contents of the 12,000 word illustrated booklet include: · How to estimate how much cider you might get from your apple trees. · Detailed guidance on pressing and fermenting. · How to create varied cider tastes by using different yeasts. · 'Steering' your cider towards sweet or dry. · Troubleshooting common problems. · Minimising equipment costs and avoiding chemicals. · Suppliers of equipment (UK focused). · All measurements both in metric and in gallons, pounds and ounces. Please note that some of this booklet's Amazon on-line reviews have been written by readers after they had fully tried out this booklet's instructions and tasted the finished product. Such reviews are the best testimony to the quality of cider which this booklet can help you to produce.

Download or read book The Botany of Desire written by Michael Pollan and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2002-05-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Pollan shines a light on our own nature as well as on our implication in the natural world.” —The New York Times “A wry, informed pastoral.” —The New Yorker The book that helped make Michael Pollan, the New York Times bestselling author of How to Change Your Mind, Cooked and The Omnivore’s Dilemma, one of the most trusted food experts in America Every schoolchild learns about the mutually beneficial dance of honeybees and flowers: The bee collects nectar and pollen to make honey and, in the process, spreads the flowers’ genes far and wide. In The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan ingeniously demonstrates how people and domesticated plants have formed a similarly reciprocal relationship. He masterfully links four fundamental human desires—sweetness, beauty, intoxication, and control—with the plants that satisfy them: the apple, the tulip, marijuana, and the potato. In telling the stories of four familiar species, Pollan illustrates how the plants have evolved to satisfy humankind’s most basic yearnings. And just as we’ve benefited from these plants, we have also done well by them. So who is really domesticating whom?
