Foraged Ciders #1 and #2. Both use apples from various sources, including apples foraged in New Jersey, New York, and Crabapples foraged here in DC. 13 different batches of apples totaling 30 gallons of juice were fermented individually. Only the best batches were saved and then blended together to create the perfect balance of acid, tannin, and fruit. These are simple, dry, rustic ciders that focus on the apples. They underwent a wild, native yeast fermentation, have no additives, and are unfiltered. They are bright, high-acid ciders with pleasant tannin that comes from using high-tannin DC Crabapples in the blend. Of the initial 30 gallons fermented for this trial, only 12 gallons were good enough to make it into a blend.
