This souvenir button badge was primarily sold in the gift shop from the early 1980s through the late 1990s.
While an exact end date for its retail run is not documented, the timeline is defined by the museum's historical branding periods.
This badge featuring the traditional woodcut-style apple tree, cider barrel, and historical straw beehive emblem introduced at the Museum of Cider's grand opening in 1981/2
By the late 1990s-2000s the item was phased out when the museum transitioned its gift shop merchandise to modern simplified logos, such as the current tree-and-pillar.

First time Brewing - is this bad?

It's been 20 hours since I put the yeast in my juice and I noticed it's foaming much more than it was a few hours ago and looks like it has gotten into the airlock. Do I need to fix this? If so, how?

What is in my bottled cider?

I recently bottled some cider with some carbonation tabs. I usually would expect some more clear yeast sediment, as you get with most bottles. However I have never seen chunks like this, and they don't homogenize when slightly shaken. Is this infected? All 9 of my bottles look similar. I am most concerned with chain looking sediment of the left side. Any help would be appreciated!

hey guy i’m making some mixed berry apple cider here’s the notes

BERRY APPLE CIDER
6/7/26 7-8pm START
1X cole’s 500g frozen mixed berry
added just under 4 litres cole’s apple juice
added sugar to OG
OG 1.104
a small amount of pectinase (unmeasured)
a small amount of dap (unmeasured)
used yeast Mangrove Jack's M05 Mead Yeast
started being active pretty quickly i think on 7/7/26
9/7/26
fermenting strongly as it has been from the start a lot of bubbles slight foam and a lot of airlock activity
18/7/26 bubbles still going up the side slightly slower
i have also been swirling daily to ensure berries don’t mold
although i’ve missed 2-3 swirls

i’m concerned about some small white bits i’ve seen on the top which i think could be mold do you think this would mold? (posted on the 22/7/26) should i think about racking off the berries? i don’t have an autosiphon sadly so id have to pour it over a strainer
