Total Acid and Sugar in your favorite cider must: 

Wondering what a "good" concentration of sugar and acid is or has been 
in your experience. 

Can you relate what you look for in a must - here's some relevant 
metrics: 

- - brix 
- - original gravity 
- - pH 
- - total acid 

Curious about measurements taken on what turned out to be excellent 
vintages or blends. 
Also curious about yeast. 

thanks all!

All, 
I am in search of a fermenter to carbonate cider. Do any of you know of any 
used tanks, or of a reputable place to purchase one. I am looking to start 
small so anything 1000-1900 liters(250-500 Gallons) 
Thanks, 
Sean

This may not reach the list prior to the event, but I've created a 
custom Google Map with the location of all the venues for this year's 
CiderDays festival: 

http://g.co/maps/8ar7t 

Since I already know which workshops I'm planning to attend, I wanted 
to print driving directions in advance for my route. My solution is 
not particularly elegant, but if you copy the latitude and longitude 
data (in bold beneath each venue's information) and paste it into the 
driving directions, you can create a custom itinerary that takes in 
multiple venues (click the Add Destination link as needed and 
click-and-drag the green circles to rearrange the order). Here's my 
itinerary for Saturday:

It's my first time attending and I'm very excited! Please email me 
directly with any feedback on the map...I hope it does more good than 
harm!

For those of you that couldn't make it, I've 
posted my photos from the first day of the 
Cider Days festival in Massachusetts for you 
to enjoy and tag.

I am willing to put a Creative Commons 
license on the photos, and only ask that you 
give me credit for the photo if you use them 
in a commercial publication or on a web site.

P.S.  I'll be adding notes to the photos when 
I get home.  I'm having too much fun to do 
paperwork right now!
