Today, we started batch two of hard cider. We bought more bottles for bottling the first batch, some Belgian Ale yeast and five gallons of cider. The second batch is starting to ferment on the kitchen table. However, given how cold the house is, especially during this cold snap outside, it may take a while to ferment.

Afterward we went over to Kim’s parents’ house to celebrate my mother-in-laws birthday. Now, late in the day, we are back home. I’m feeling particularly run down. I believe I’m fighting a virus. So, I’ll wait until tomorrow to follow up on the emails I’ve received today and put up a more in depth blog post.
