We had a great time today at Melbourne’s National Trust house Rippon Lea. We had apples from the 150 year old orchards, some manpower on hand, and Max Allen to convince us that the age old English tradition of cider making—using straw to separate the layers of pomace—still has its place.

This is the first of a number of posts which I will be making over the coming weeks on the state of cider and apfelwein in Australia. :)

Now I am keen to make my own. Could you please let me know how the ripponlea project is progressing, whether you have made real ebblewoi or cider and whats next…. I have never made ebbelwoi (only beer) but am keen to learn. Cheers RYE
