Cider to be kept unfermented should
be made as late in autumn us possible
as 1t would be difficult to keep from fer
menting when made early IN the season.
November made cider, If bunged up
tight and stored where d temperature
nearthe freezing point can bemaintained,
will probably keep sweet indefinitely.
Some people put in half pound or q
pound Of mustard seed to the barrel ol
cider and others use sulphite Of lime in
the same way. The old time method oil
scalding is considered by many people
one Of the best and least Objectionable
methods.
We see this described as follows
When the cider has slightly fermented
it should be drawn or dipped from tho
casks where it has been standing to
settle into large copper kettles or anold
copper still, and be heated just up to the
boiling point and no longer, when il
should DO again put into open casks to
settle and become cold. 1t viii then be
ready to be tightly bunged in barrels
and stored away During the heating q
large quantity Of scum will rise to the
top to be SKINNED of, and during the
cooling most Of the impurities still held
in solution win hedeposited as sediment
