Bushwhacker Cider: Cider, Beer, and getting sick into a sink.
http://bushwhackercider.blogspot.com/2011/02/cider-beer-and-getting-sick-into-sink.html
Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Cider, Beer, and getting sick into a sink. A question I often get asked is how I got into cider. So, I figure a brief history of my alcohol history is in order. I made it for about 6 months, then stopped for about a year or so. I was in a funk, completely being miserable in a job that drove me near insanity. Things changed and I started making it again. I started making it a lot. Market research was swift. No cider around=More cider needed. The original idea was for ...Thing...

Bushwhacker Cider: March 2011
http://bushwhackercider.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 25, 2011. As some of you may know, our little cidery is simply staffed. In the past, most of the time you would see me, with our good friend Josh on weekends. My wife Erin sneaks in on occasion to bring food and relieve me behind the bar. Thank god she does, or I would never eat. She started with us about a week or so ago full time. The idea is that I will bartend less, and make cider more. We would like to be able to distribute our kegs by the end of the year. Saturday, March 5, 2011.

Bushwhacker Cider: January 2011
http://bushwhackercider.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. At home, I was excited, but frustrated at the foil around the top, I hate foil around the top. It's an unnecessary barrier standing between myself and the hard work of some Frenchman. A 95 Newton's Folly it is not. A well made, Normandy, delicately complex cider it is. Saturday, January 29, 2011. Perry tasting : looking back. The Perry was an experiment for me on two levels. One: could I make it? Two: Would anyone like it? Perry is a different beast than a Pear cider, which is a...

Bushwhacker Cider: Late Night Musings
http://bushwhackercider.blogspot.com/2011/04/late-night-musings.html
Sunday, April 3, 2011. I am fortunate enough to be up all night, enjoying my neighbors raging indoor / outdoor party. They are musicians, and love to play until the wee hours of the morning. I am so glad that they tuned in on my ability to survive without any sleep. What a bunch of good people. I am also planning on changing it up a bit. We are going to use a different yeast strain, and try fermenting at a colder temperature. I am hoping to bring the fruit out more, and experiment in making a sli...Music...

Bushwhacker Cider: Smoked Cider release
http://bushwhackercider.blogspot.com/2011/03/smoked-cider-release.html
Saturday, March 5, 2011. Tonight we had our smoked cider release, which also coincided with our six month anniversary. The idea for a smoked cider came innocently enough, but like some of my ideas (like starting a cider bar) it actually took hold and I obsessed about it. I have yet to find any mention of it anywhere, so I'll assume this is the first. I am very happy with the result. Was it perfect? I heard that it:. Needed to be served with cheese. Tasted better when blended with JK Scrumpy. The next bat...

Bushwhacker Cider: February 2011
http://bushwhackercider.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 23, 2011. TV or no TV? When it was a little slow the other night, Erin and I sat around the bar and played some cribbage. Here and there, we had people enjoying some conversation, reading, and playing darts. We had originally planned on having a TV for Timbers matches. We thought it would be a lot of fun, and a great way to support our local favorite team. That was the original plan. Plans have a funny way of changing. So, long blog short, no TV.
