Cidre flows 36c3
To secure spot on this session please sign in here.
The origins of cider are ancient. It is an alcoholic beverage prepared from apple juice (moût) fermented by variety of indigenous yeast (traditional way). There are many different varieties and styles of ciders depending on the region of origin, for example in France we have various regions in Normandie versus the different regions in Bretagne, which differ considerably. The brews are specific depending on blend of different apples or more rare mono varietal ciders, traditionally fermented in the bottle (la prise de mousse naturelle) and we could go on and on. I Algoldor have finished la formation cidricole on the institute le Robillard and I'm going to apply what I've learned to make this tasting as good as possible. Please be aware time is limited so is therefore the amount of theory which I can share with you at this occasion. We will talk about history of cidre making, today's situation, it's future and of course we will taste variety of high and also few lower quality products to get the spectrum right. This session will walk you through the basics. You will learn what you should be focusing on when tasting the beverage, what to expect based on what do you read on the label on the bottle - sweetness, bitterness/tardiness, acidity, pasteurization etc. depending on the region et cetera. If you have some special sample to share, your own make or something else please get in touch with me in advance so we can plan for it.
Please note that you are going to drink at least half liter or rather over a liter of 4-6% beverages in an average (plus some specials) so you will feel it. We will have of course something to eat during the session so that should help, however you are not driving afterwards that is for sure. We will document most of the ciders on the table so you will be able to track them down, I will write half of them down in advance the rest during or after the event. Still taking notes during the session is recommended. This workshop is based on donation at your will no one turned away for lack of funds creed. However please keep in mind that samples and ingredients for this event will be around 150-200 eu and ending up in a decent plus would not offend me at all because it would help me to cover costs related to my presence at this event. I'll have some extra quantity of my ciders for the ones who are especially devoted, they will be for suggested donation.
