 Looking for [hard] cider applesIf you have any apples that would be good for making cider, I am interested in them. In particular, I am looking for apples or crab apples that contain tannin, which gives a kind of drying out sensation to the mouth. I have access to plenty of farmstead apples, but apples with tannin are eluding me. I am willing to pay for them.
Thanks, Heather Vancouver, WA for_heather@hotmail.com |

Re: Looking for [hard] cider apples I have never added tannin powder to cider, but winemakers do it on a home basis (sold in home brew shops). I don't see why that would not work for you if you cannot find the right apples.
Good luck. |

Re: Looking for [hard] cider apples Some have added aronia berries in their place. They are also full of vitamin C and antioxidants.
