		<description><![CDATA[The bees have been out and about, collecting pollen and such for the last couple of weeks. It&#8217;s been nice, with afternoon highs in the 50s. One hive looks very strong, while the other isn&#8217;t showing quite as much activity. Hopefully the 2nd one makes it until spring! I fear that the queen might have [...]

		<description><![CDATA[The carboy that I set aside for a wild fermentation has finally started, after sitting for about a month (almost to the day!). I&#8217;ll probably rack it over quickly, as there was a bit of mold forming. The alcohol should kill that off, but I figure it&#8217;s better to be prudent and not get too [...]

		<description><![CDATA[In 2010, I made a batch of cider using the &#8220;juice apples&#8221; available at Kiyokawa Orchard in Parkdale. It was good cider, although a bit bland due to the dryness, mild acidity, and lack of tannins. So I thought I&#8217;d make it a bit better with some bottle conditioning to produce a true &#8220;sparkling&#8221; cider [...]

		<description><![CDATA[ Nat brought over some very nice apples today that I added to the 98 lbs of crab apples, and I spent about 4.5 hours grinding and pressing them all out for cider. Well, 604 lbs of them were pressed. There were some Newtown Pippens left over, but I just couldn&#8217;t squeeze them into the press. [...]

		<description><![CDATA[This coming weekend will be cider-making, round 3. I lent Nat West of Reverend Nat&#8217;s Hard Cider my grinder so that he could breeze through several tons of apples for a commercial venture, and in exchange he&#8217;s providing me with some apples for another batch of cider. This one will be a blend of 25% [...]

Also, I made use of my new apple grinder from OESCO to replace the garbage disposal one that I had built last year. That was easily one of the best investments I [...]
