Hi, from Glasgow

Hi to all.

Joined really to get some advice on cider making (or maybe even cider vinegar, explained below) but i've always had thoughts about brewing some beer so may give that a go now i have the kit.

so intro

My partner runs a small preserve business making jams and chutneys. She tends to buy a lot of fruit and veg from the market. it is a small operation and occasionally some get wasted. We ended up with a load of apples this year. Mainly donations from friends and neighbours with apple trees. We ended up with quite a few surplus, even to much to juice. so i thought i'd give cider a go. sitting at breakfast one weekend i grabbed the laptop and google cider making. what also came up was a cider vinegar making. this is quite and expensive ingredient to chutneys, so that is why i might go that way. all depend on how the cider tastes i guess.
No doubt i'll have loads of questions to ask, already popped one in the cider discussions section

Cheers
