037: Tim Larsen | Snowdrift Cider, WA

Tim Larsen was at the all day event, Pour the Core in Brooklyn, NYC waiting on a long line of thirsty cider drinkers. During a the break between sessions I was able to squirrel away with Tim in a back corner of the Brooklyn Expo Center and chat Snowdrift ciders and their perry.

In this chat Tim and I discuss:

Snowdrift Ciders - see below the 9 ciders that recently all won awards in April of 2016.

cidermaking components such as,

• anthocyanin pigments generate the rose hue in rosé cider during cidermaking.
• polyphenolics in cider
• Procyanins - are members of the proanthocyanidin (or condensed tannins) class of flavonoids.
• Bittersharp ( low in tannin and high in acid) vs Bittersweet (high in tannin, low in acid and high in sugar) apples for cider
