Rate chuffed to come home from the day job and see that the keeved Zephyr blend of 2026 is doing its thing! Next few warm days making me nervous about it though, hopefully evening temps will drop enough 🤞🤞

Sat in t'shed(fermentation room)Listening to the symphony of airlocks, thinking/contemplating this years competitions after the last one yesterday been a alright year for sweet perries!

One tastes good now, one tastes good in 8 months time.

Saturday didn't have that same bottle share vibe this year, noticed the pace was alot more chilled this year rather than a big Saturday. Worth going again next year to see if normal resumes.

Yes, definitely figs and more appealing than caviar!

Managed to pick some not so heavily bletted as well as this one, so they would survive in sacks and travelling. Was worth to effort for a new single variety at 1075sg. Anyone else think blotted pears have a caviar look about them?

You were definitely today's winner on flavours 😋

"Old Father Time checked, so there'd be no doubt Called on the north wind to come on out Then cupped his hands so proudly to shout La-di-da, di-da-di-dum, 'tis Autumn" fresh pickings,fresh fermentations almost feels like a new year beginnings.

Annual rossfest Saturday traditions! Bringing back my flybenight mug for it's dry michelin/sweet coppin refill!

Spent summer seeing house martins pretty much solo this evening seeing lots of them feeding bugs together in damp weather if they haven't departed for warmer climates before/during @rosscider.bsky.social fest i'll be shocked! A non technological way of saying it's nearly apple/pear harvest time!
