To Make Cider

It is generally reckoned that the richest cider is made from the sweetest apples. As it comes from the press pour it into a tub prepared by boring a hole in the bottom (the plug put in very loosely), and filled with alternate layers of charcoal and gravel. As fast as it filters through put it in a clean "white oak" cask in a cool cellar andlet remain open till fermentation has ceased, then bung tight.
