Looking for Cider around Poznan Area

convex:

I make applewine at home. It's really easy and if you give it a shot of carbonated water, a little sugar if you're into that kind of thing, and you've got good cider. Takes about 3 weeks...but it's way cheaper, tates better, and you get a whole jug of it.

You can find an alcohol free version of 'cider' at Ikea. But the only place I know of which stocks real cider is John King Polska (based near Warsaw), they have (or at least can get) Bulmers.

al111: Miss me Cider very much........... The last few times Ive been to Wroclaw have looked for cider. In the bar and also shops but can't find any. Coming from Gloucester I love the stuff. ( the real stuff). Don't think they sell it in Poland. Start exporting it mate. It will soon catch on.

I think the closest thing you will get to cider is probably redds,

Ajb: Please share your recipie, if you please :) This is a good one to follow I follow pretty much the same steps except I don't add ascorbic acid or wine tannin and use lemon juice as the acid blend. I like it cloudy, so I skip the campden tablet and drink it straight away (if you do this, make absolutely sure that everything you use is sterile, good way to make yourself sick!). I'd also suggest pressing your apples instead of buying store bought. You can play around with the type of apple to get what you like. You might have to order some stuff, but it will last you forever because you don't need much of it for a batch: burgundy wine yeast yeast nutrients pectic acid hydrometer airlock The good news is that you'll be placing that order with a place that more than likely sells beer making supplies... so you can make it a christmas order and get everything you need to make beer too. Applewine is a lot easier than beer, but once you get beer brewing down you start getting snobbish because you can make exactly what you like at home. Beware, it's addictive.

Ajb: I saw Strongbow in a bar in Poznan... Sad really. People drinking cider for the first time will be of the opinion that Strongbow is the real thing. Rather than the cheap imitation that it is. Terrible stuff.

It's a shame you're not in Poznan, I know quite a few people who would happily pay for a course on making cider/beer at home :(

Hi, I saw bottles of cider in Marks & Spencer at Malta.
