Greetings to all,
Zdravíme ve spolek, léto je tady a pěkně to sviští. Ti co sledují naše aktivity, si jistě všimli naší účasti na EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) 2024 v Eastnoru, UK, kde jsme byli součástí Food Hacking Base (fhb) gangu. Během výstavby naší "vesničky" jsme měli co dělat, když jsme se potýkali s překvapivě deštivým anglickým počasím, v posledku bylo ale opravdu príma potkat se s kamarády a milovníky cidrů. Během ochutnávek cidrů, "cider flows", jsme nachutnali široké spektrum místních cidrů, vybrané kandidáty jsme zakoupili pro budoucí ochutnávky a udělali si tedy hezkou zásobu.
From England I went to Normandie, where unexpected bottling took place. This year's cider got too dry however with help of Christophe Bouvet from Ferme du Vastel I've managed to bottle around 1300 of 75 cl bottles of millésime 2023, assemblage 1, brut at 1016 at 17°C. Ten percents is cider from Kavsírna Jara, lot 4.3, rest is from Ferme du Vastel, all clean and natural, mostly hand picked. I've also played a bit around and bottled around eighty 75 cl bottles of kvasírna jara's cider, lot 4.2 with addition of honey, density 1016 at 17°C. Importantly I have brought to Czech around 200 l of lot 4.2 which we plan to blend into assemblage 3, cidre à pression. It will be assembled with honey and maybe some herbs, transferred into the kegs and used as draft cider at the events. Otherwise on the way to Czech it was quite adventures. I have lost two wheels from four on the trailer, managed to fix one but arrived just on three after all. The trip took around 24 hours, bit too much to my taste. It seems that my beloved trailer needs some decent upkeep, well it earned it over the years, no question about it. If all goes well we will have draft cider within tend days so we can use it at the events during the summer. One of the aims is to decrease the pressure on the stock of bruts which are now with the new bottling around 4500 of 75 cl bottles max. Next year, 2024 season, we should bottle at least 6000x of 75 cl bottles of bruts, rather eight thousand if possible. This is important because the bruts sell best and if we want to be secure that they are stable and don't referment, waiting two summers after bottling is the safest.
We hope to see many of you during this summer trying our draft ciders and of course also other products, hopefully soon some probiotic drinks for example.
Have a great time, enjoy the sun and hopefully see you soon!
