I was looking on Craigslist for a job (day job), and out of curisoity I
did a search for wine just to see if something popped near me. I found a
cidermaking job that pays $70k in the northeast (US?)! Just passing it
on. Hopefully this link will still be good when the next cider digest
comes out, as they didn't give good contact info.

Feeling pretty humble here, but I'm not sure I've ever understood the
'pectin issue.' We don't use pectic enzymes at all, and are maybe too
stupid to understand why others do (we tried them years ago, over and again
- -- couldn't find the benefit). Nor do we pasteurize. Nor do we fine. Just
checked that one again with our first fining trial in about ten years
(bentonite, gelatin, pvpp, kieselguhr, etc.) -- we still haven't met a
fining agent that doesn't deaden the cider. Time drops cider bright, in our
meager experience. Gentle filtration can help in a pinch.

Scott Smith's post reminded me that I haven't put up the link to the
info I got several years ago about the many cideries in the area
around Montreal and other parts of Quebec.
If you're looking for a great cider adventure a trip to Quebec in the
fall is definitely merited. Please check ahead though since I haven't
been able to update the list in a while and some info could be out of date...
