037: Tim Larsen | Snowdrift Cider, WA - a podcast by Ria Windcaller: Award winning Cidermaker | Craft Libations Columnist | Podc
from 2016-06-29T07:30
Tim Larsen was at the all day event, Pour the Core in Brooklyn, NYC waiting on a long line of thirsty cider drinkers. During a the break between sessions I was able to squirrel away with Tim in a back corner of the Brooklyn Expo Center and chat Snowdrift ciders and their perry.
In this chat Tim and I discuss:
Snowdrift Ciders - see below the 9 ciders that recently all won awards in April of 2016.
cidermaking components such as,
- anthocyanin pigments generate the rose hue in rosé cider during cidermaking.
- polyphenolics in cider
- Procyanins - are members of the proanthocyanidin (or condensed tannins) class of flavonoids.
- Bittersharp ( low in tannin and high in acid) vs Bittersweet (high in tannin, low in acid and high in sugar) apples for cider
