My neighbour is just throwing the apples falling from his trees on his compost heap :shock:
and so i've asked him to instead throw them into my garden so i can make cider.
I heard/read somewhere that apples contain a natural yeast under their skins, and as the amount of apples i'm going to get from his tree is in relatively small amounts, i'm going to try my hand at making a cider by just adding the apple peelings.
Am i right in thinking this was the method used back int olden days?
do you reckon this'll work?
