Hi, 

I would like to post the following question to the cider digest: 

I've noticed all of my ciders that have been stored over two years do not 
age well; they have all become very sharp and off balance with respect to 
body and acidity, compared to when they were bottled. I would expect the 
aging process to make a smoother drink, like what I've experienced with 
wines. All of my  past attempts seem to behave this way, I have about four 
or five examples, and it really had me wondering what may be going on. 
I am wondering if others have experienced this also, or not, and if this 
is a feature of cider, if anyone has an explanation. 

Thanks

In an article on yeast selection,  Greg Appleyard writes about a series of 
tests on various yeast strains.  I'm curious about one he calls "george" a 
commercial cider yeast donated by friends for the test.   Anyone know what 
strain that is?

Can I freeze cider, to be fermented at  later date?
