British winter affects cyder

We all know how long and cold the British winter has been this year. This cold weather has slowed the fermentation of our cyder down considerably. At the begining of March some of the cyder was still sweet to the taste; there is obviously at lot of sugar left to ferment. The cyder will be checked again at the beginning of April. This may mean the cyder is ready a month or so later than last year. We had an order for a couple of beers festivals recently, one at The Empress, Cambridge and another at a beer festival in Newcastle (this is the furthest our cyder has traveled!).
