Eaters and cookers.
And every year I say "that's good cider going to waste, that is".
So this year I bought a new plastic dustbin, and some cider yeast.
Spent most of yesterday chopping apples and mashing them up a bit with a rubber mallet in the bottom of the (Milton sterilised) dustbin.
Threw in 5 gallons of water, then sealed the lid on with silicon sealer.
Slid a length of airline tubing under the lid and ran it down to a jar with water in, to make an airlock.
Then remembered the yeast (Doh!)

Planning on giving it two or three weeks, opening her up and throwing in some sugar and more yeast. A recipe I dug up on t'internettie suggested a lump of bruised ginger and some lemon juice as well.
Should be ready by Christmas.
Note to self: buy industrial strength Aspirins........
