Cider Apple
Cider apples are a group of apple cultivars grown for their use in the production of cider (referred to as "hard cider" in the United States). Cider apples are distinguished from "cookers" and "eaters", or dessert apples, by their bitterness or dryness of flavour, qualities which make the fruit unpalatable but can be useful in cidermaking. Some apples are considered to occupy more than one category. In the United Kingdom, the Long Ashton Research Station categorised cider apples in 1903 into four main types according to the proportion of tannins and malic acid in the fruit. For cider production, it is important that the fruit contains high sugar levels which encourage Fermentation (food), fermentation and raise the final Ethanol, alcohol levels. Cider apples therefore often have higher sugar levels than Table apple, dessert and cooking apples. It is also considered important for cider apples to contribute tannins, which add depth to the finished cider's flavour. Classification ...

Cider Apples (21600773933)
Cider ( ) is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermented juice of apples. Cider is widely available in the United Kingdom (particularly in the West Country) and Ireland. The United Kingdom has the world's highest per capita consumption, as well as the largest cider-producing companies. Ciders from the South West of England are generally higher in alcoholic content. Cider is also popular in many Commonwealth countries, such as India, South Africa, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and New England. As well as the UK and its former colonies, cider is popular in Portugal (mainly in Minho and Madeira), France (particularly Normandy and Brittany), northern Italy (specifically Friuli), and northern Spain (specifically Asturias and Basque Country). Germany also has its own types of cider with Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse producing a particularly tart version known as Apfelwein. In the U.S. and Canada, varieties of alcoholic cider are often called hard cider to distinguish it from no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brown Snout
'Brown Snout' is a 19th-century cultivar of cider apple originating in Herefordshire in the United Kingdom, though now grown in other counties and parts of the world. History Although several different apple varieties have been given this name in the past,Morgan, ''The New Book of Apples'', 2013, lvii the familiar 'Brown Snout' cultivar of apple is said to have been discovered on the farm of a Mr Dent at Yarkhill, Herefordshire, in the middle of the 19th century.Copas, L. ''A Somerset Pomona: the cider apples of Somerset'', Dovecote, 2001, p.26 It was subsequently widely propagated by the H. P. Bulmer company of Hereford, and was planted in orchards across the west Midlands and, less commonly, in parts of the West Country. The Brown Snout remains a popular cultivar in traditional cider making. Characteristics It is a late-flowering variety, classed as a "bittersweet" apple, with relatively high tannins and low levels of malic acid. It makes a medium-sized tree with a stiffly ...

Titratable Acid
In chemistry, titratable acid generally refers to any acid that can lose one or more protons in an acid–base reaction. The term is used slightly differently in other fields. For example, in renal physiology, titratable acid is a term to describe acids such as phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid which are involved in renal physiology. It is used to explicitly exclude ammonium (NH4+) as a source of acid, and is part of the calculation for net acid excretion. It gets its name from the use of NaOH in acid–base titration to estimate the quantity of titratable acid.{{cite book, title= Essentials of Human Physiology, first= Thomas M. , last= Nosek, chapter=Section 7/7ch12/7ch12p27 , chapter-url=http://humanphysiology.tuars.com/program/section7/7ch12/7ch12p27.htm , archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303095156/http://humanphysiology.tuars.com/program/section7/7ch12/7ch12p27.htm, archive-date=2016-03-03 - "Regeneration of Bicarbonate, the Role of Titratable Acid: Definition of Tit ...

Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen
Yeast assimilable nitrogen or YAN is the combination of free amino nitrogen (FAN), ammonia (NH3) and ammonium (NH4+) that is available for a yeast, e.g. the wine yeast ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'', to use during fermentation (wine), fermentation. Outside of the fermentable sugars (wine), fermentable sugars glucose and fructose, nitrogen is the most important nutrient needed to carry out a successful fermentation that doesn't end prior to the intended point of dryness (wine), dryness or sees the development of off-odors and related wine faults. To this extent winemakers will often supplement the available YAN resources with nitrogen additives such as diammonium phosphate (DAP).B. Zoecklein, K. Fugelsang, B. Gump, F. Nury ''Wine Analysis and Production'' pgs 152-163, 340-343, 444-445, 467 Kluwer Academic Publishers, New York (1999) However, the addition of excessive amounts of nitrogen can also create a hazard as other organisms besides beneficial wine yeast can utilize the nutrien ...

Bramley Apple
''Malus domestica'' (Bramley's Seedling, commonly known as the Bramley apple, or simply Bramley, Bramleys or Bramley's) is an English cultivar of apple that is usually eaten cooked due to its sourness. The variety comes from a pip planted by Mary Ann Brailsford. ''The Concise Household Encyclopedia'' states, "Some people eat this apple raw in order to cleanse the palate, but Bramley's seedling is essentially the fruit for tart, pie, or dumpling."''The Concise Household Encyclopedia'' (ca. 1935), Amalgamated Press Ltd, London Once cooked, however, it has a lighter flavour. A peculiarity of the variety is that when cooked it becomes golden and fluffy. Tree Bramley's Seedling apple trees are large, vigorous, spreading and long-lived. They tolerate some shade. The apples are very large, two or three times the weight of a typical dessert apple. They are flat with a vivid green skin that becomes red on the side that receives direct sunlight. The tree is resistant to apple scab and mil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cap Of Liberty (apple)
Cap of Liberty, also known by the name Red Soldiers or Bloody Soldier,Copas (2001) ''Somerset Pomona: The Cider Apples of Somerset'', Dovecote, p.29 is a traditional cider apple cultivar originating in the Martock area of central Somerset. Characteristics The cultivar makes a medium-sized tree with a distinctive habit, having several long, unbranching, spreading limbs.Williams and Child, "The Identification of Cider Apples" in ''Annual Report of the Long Ashton Research Station'', 1965, 82 It bears in mid season. The small fruit have a strong red flush on a yellow ground, a shape between conical and cylindrical and are of full 'bittersharp' type, being high in tannin and malic acid levels. 'Cap of Liberty' is similar to and may be related to other central Somerset varieties such as Lambrook Pippin. It is considered to be of 'vintage' quality, i.e. capable of making single varietal cider. The tree is extremely prone to apple scab, with some scab and consequent die-back being almo ...

Kingston Black Apple
The Kingston Black, also known as Black Taunton, is a cultivar of apple originating from the United Kingdom and used in making cider. The name of the cultivar comes from the apples' dark red or purplish skin, though despite the name, the fruit does not have a black hue. History The apple was first grown in orchards around the parish of Kingston St Mary in Somerset, whose inhabitants referred to it simply as the "black apple".Lawrence, B. ''Quantock Country'', 1952, p. 60 left, At Priorwood Garden Kingston Black is capable of making a distinctive single-variety cider,Copas, L. ''Somerset Pomona'', 2001, p. 45 and its value in cidermaking meant that by the early 19th century it became more well known. By 1950, the Long Ashton Research Station referred to it as "more widely grown than any other cider apple" in the West of England.''Annual Report'' of the Long Ashton Research Station, 1950, p.186 Despite this popularity, one former Long Ashton staff member wrote that many thought t ...

Foxwhelp
The Foxwhelp is a very old cider apple cultivar, originating in the west Midlands of England. History This is one of the oldest surviving varieties of cider apple; it is first mentioned in John Evelyn's ''Advertisements Concerning Cider'' in his work ''Pomona'' of 1664, in which it is commented that "cider for strength ..is best made of the ''Fox-whelp'' of the ''Forest of Dean'', but which comes not to be drunk until two or three years old".Hogg, R. British Pomology', 1851, p.89 It is usually said to have originated in Gloucestershire or Herefordshire. By the early eighteenth century, it had become one of the most prized cultivars for cider: a letter written by a Hugh Stafford in 1727 states "I have been told by a person of credit that a hogshead of cider from this fruit has been sold in London for £8 or eight guineas, and that often a hogshead of French wine has been given in exchange for the same quantity of Fox-whelp. It is said to contain a richer and more cordial juice t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
