I'll certainly try and post some pics if you wish - must admit I hadn't thought I would attract cider fetishists with my humble brew

I tried making cider. I got a gallon of cider vinegar instead, at least it was good for cooking

Cider vinegar is also used as a natural remedy for osteo arthritis.....A small glass drunk per day.

Madman, I'll happily send you a sample. Email me with your address, and I'll try to sort something out.

Just finished drinking my batch of cider I added a bit of ginger and some lemon in mine. Along with a load of sugar as it said in the recipe that i had. the result was a very strong warm tasting brew. In hindsight I will not add the sugar again as it was a bit too sweet. I could only drink about 4 pints of it before it got too sickly.

I cut up the apples with a plastic fish slice then mashed them with a potato masher to get the juice and it worked fine!

Well, the Rat is a well known cider cure. Or a loin of meat! The proteines in the meat (loin or rat) sets off the wild yeats in the apple "juice" and enhances the fermentation. So if you want to cure some meat and and make cider at the same time, put the raw meat in the cider-brew!

And I don't think a rat is used nowdays.. but i know several cidermakers that throw meat into the barrel.. and the meat is supposed to be a delicacy!

Can someone tell me how to post a picture (please let it be nice and easy, not involving file conversion or opening an account with some picture hosting service), and I'll put up some pictures of what madman has volunteered to sample.

Hi Foghorn

a lot of people as this, and the good news is, it is very simple

I've added to Sean's "How to Post" thread as clear a description as I can make; anyone who can feel free to modify my post to make it clearer.

Here you are Foghorn:

The addition of a rat may not be an old wives tale. A West country farmer I knew used to put in a piece of beef (few ounces) into his fermentation barrels - said it added body! (literally I suppose). In one of my old (I mean old) recipe books I do have a recipe for beef beer, which again has beef added to the fermentaion barrels of beer.
