Bonnington Cider is racked
Double filtered for your drinking pleasure!
Well, nine months after it went into the barrel as innocent old apple juice, Bonnington & Partners Cider batch #1 was racked today. Racking is the process where the fermenting tanks are drained, the sediment at the bottom is rinsed out, and the cider put back into the vats for its final run to the bottle.
The cider has come out exactly at the correct specific gravity. So, next weekend, into the bottle it goes!
Our cider Plant Manager couldn not, however, wait, and (much to the chagrin of his wife) is seen here drinking pint #1, straight from the bottom of the barrel to you.
The real stuff is actually a good deal clearer than this muck! Still don't taste too bad though.

Matching Beer and Food with Bonnington
Here at Bonnington Brewery, we put a lot of thought into the matching of our handcrafted ales, lagers, porters and stouts with the large array of wonderful food available in this great brown land (or little green island as the case may be).
Tonight's combination, as recommended by Head Brewer and Chef, Larry Lowroader is Bonnington "Old Peculiarish" Ruby Ale with lamb chops and Silverbeet Spanikopita. Perfect for a summer's night when the wife's gone out for a DVD with friends.

Bonnington CIDER is go
In a new adjunct to beer brewing operations, Bonnington Brewery and associated entities today commissioned the fermentation of it's first batch of apple cider.
With a secret mix of varieties sourced from the Huon Valley, south of Hobart, an initial quantity of 250 litres is now fermenting in locations scattered around the capital. Ready for drinking around Christmas 2009, we're anticipating a medium dry scrumpy of around 7% abv. Watch this space for progress.
