I take they are edible, I never tried them. Had some Blue Legs in the past. Absolutely delicious. I keep meaning to learn about native mushrooms and delve into a bit of foraging.
I guess cider foraging is safer.

Lightweight [emoji23] it IS the Distillers Edition. I find Lagavulin one of the smoothest of the Islays. Laphroaig on the other hand........

Ohh I dunno, Lagavulin is a bit to much for him, maybe stick to the lowland malts[emoji6]

If anyone in Dorset wants some apples I have a surplus of 500 russet apples in my garage - they're technically eating apples rather than traditional cider apples but they do make a light and fizzy cider with very little effort required.
We had a massive crop of apples this year and I've simply run out of time sorting them all. They were picked last week and all boxed up and dry.. Free to collect if anyone wants then send me a message!

That 500kg of fruit has shrunk to 250L of juice. Unleashing the yeast today...

Way to go Willk
looks like you have everything in a row
How do you tell if a apple is a cider apple or not?
taste test?

A cider apple will be VERY sweet. It will often also be VERY tannic (bitter) but can alternatively be acidic (sharp). In every case they will have a flavour that will carry over fermentation and give character to the hard cider.

It is that time again.
A couple of days ago I installed new pillow block bearings on our apple shredder- last set lasted 42 years.
So we picked our first truck load and pressed 125L.
Between the rotten weather -too much rain this spring and the bears busting the trees last fall it doesn't look like a very good Apple Year.
The local Conversation officers have been telling some of the older folks that if they don't want bears in the trees to cut them down.( I wish they meant cutting the bears) Some of our best old Gravenstein trees got chopped-
cheers
hank
