Golden Delicious apples for Cider ?!

[Mark the Bodger]

Hello everyone,

I was out walking over the weekend and spotted a couple of apple trees in the hedgerow with what looks to be be Golden Delicious apples on them. Just wondering if they can be used for cider? If they can do I need to add anything extra ... Tanning etc.

Cheers in advance.

You can use any apples for cider although I find a mix is best. That said have made with whatever we can get hold of . You can add all sorts but there is no need and I like the natural approach, simply extract juice, bung in a demijohn and ferment

Thank you Alison,

I just wasn't sure if it needed "balacing out" wih anything.

Thanks again.
