Kellybrook Winery (vic) Cider Festival - This Weekend 1-2/5

[brettprevans]

Since we are talking cider etc, legged my cyser last night. Lacking a little something. Added more honey and a little lactose. That champaigne yeast is funky looking. It clumps together like little bits of bread. The finish of the cyser is very definite dry sparkling tjough. So it should come good by the weekend

Was a lovely day for a cider festival, I agree the Somerset was the pick of the day. Perhaps a little oaky but the texture was great and it mixed back with the bulk juice very well for those of us who were driving.

The bulk juice and scrumpy though.... disappointing comes to mind. Scrumpy was all alcohol character and the juice was oxidised to heck

I went on Sunday. It was OK, but $8 an adult entry was a shame considering that there was nothing really for it.

Juice was nice ($12/4L bottle), scrumpy still going strong ($20/4L) and I hope to get some sediment out of it for the yeasties. Both good but expensive I feel.

Good to go to with the mates- grab a bottle of scrumpy and some chips and you are set for the day. Beautiful area.

Would I do it again?? Nope. 50 min drive, $8/adult entry(should have just driven 50m down the road and gone through the back gate like many others!), and pretty mediocre entertainment.

A nice day overall though.
