Raging Cider & Mead

@KrisMBarnard @vinoshipper @IntractableLion You forgot the storm runoff reporting and fees

@vinoshipper @IntractableLion As a super small guy could you escape this reporting? Possibly! But just like the ABC, TTB, FDA, CDTFA, IRS and now Cal Recycle it is on the company to self-report and self-educate on requirements and deadlines. If they find you, they’re gonna make you pay + interest + maybe jail

The THRILLING life of a CA cider company (totally agree with this comment, I don’t need more monthly reports to fill out and we have an in-house recycling program that does more for the environment than this new policy does).

@simoningall $$$

Convicted of 34 felony’s and he walks free. Someone please explain. If I was convicted with 1 felony count I’d be sitting in jail.

@Cider_Review @BarMas Thank you @BarMas This applies to the US as well. The concept of cider here is so dilute. The battle to convince people that it's more than a sweet alcopop is disheartening at best at times

@simoningall Hey!! I'm from the last boomer year and I do pretty good, 😂

Why are boomers so incapable with technology?

March 16th is our next release to the general public. It includes: 2022 Random Apples 2022 Perry Feral 2022 Got Crabs, Too? Ragey's Fire Sauce, a hot sauce collaboration with Pepper Queen Farms

@KrisMBarnard Got our grapes done except 1 Lenoir vine we're going to root. Our farmstead quince and some peaches are already at bud break 🤯

Rapid trimming grapes Bud break is near

@RossCider Our harvest is 3 weeks behind; and, our brix are far lower (20% lower) than usual due to a wet, cold spring and multiple rain days since just before harvest here in Southern California

The use of ourpomona.org is already bearing fruit. By inputting my data about Foxwhelp I have become aware I have been spouting nonsense for much of the last three weeks. Our harvest dates this year were only 1 day earlier than last year (although we WERE late to get to

New bottle releases out this weekend 2021 Them Pét-Nat Southern Apples 2022 Jonathan is a Good Lad 2022 Lincoln Perry

@simoningall My daughter and son in law raise chickens and rabbits for meat. The rabbits especially are prolific

I set out to try and raise some of my own meat. We successfully raised 19 chickens. I can’t wait to start cooking with this chicken!

@simoningall Fancy clothes, punk rock hair 🤣 when we got married in 1985

Post your wedding photos and keep it going! (All this divorce talk on Twitter I want to see dome happily married folks!)

Loving our S.V. Lincoln Perry. Dry with light citrus, pear notes, and the mildest of tannin

@TheCiderCritic @hopandwedge It was a very dry year as well which drives up the sugars. In contrast, we got far more rain than normal during harvest in 2022 and are looking to have our lowest abv's ever from that harvest

@hopandwedge @RagingMead I guess it makes sense, we have nowhere near the intensity or duration of sunshine over here, but +12% cider! That is the stuff that headaches are made of.

A case of "Cider Like Wine", our 2020 Miner's Reserve is a blend of English, French, and American Cider varieties dominated by Burford Redflesh. It has the best attributes of a cider from Herefordshire with a mouth coating berry note. A dry year, it finished at 12.7% abv

@whingingpomme_ @Cider_Review What an absolutely wonderful deep dive of thought into the natural world. Thank you!

The concept of terroir is central to our understanding of artisanal wine, cider and perry. In today’s @Cider_Review, I examine our shifting interpretations of this concept, and argue that we need to rethink it in response to the climate crisis: cider-review.com/2023/02/18/ret…

Wassailing in San Diego County? Indeed!

@McGeePDX @ANXOcider 🤣 our Black Twig is typically in the 8.5% range as are 95% of our ciders due to our terroir. California in general should be called the Imperial State then
