I'd like to thank Dick Dunn for correcting the misconceptions in my Article 
on Colonial cider.  I wanted to write something about Cider for my blog on 
Presidents' Day, so I did some searching on the Internet for information. I 
guess my sources were not very good. I apologize for repeating the errors.

I tasted a cider at  a Peter Mitchells sensory evaluation in February, it 
was Percheron Cider from Virtue which is said to be aged in Brett infected 
barrels. I am inclined to agree with Dick that this is not a direction I 
would take. I believe that some Normandy ciders trend this way. Interesting 
flavor but would proceed with caution. If I made a cider like the one tasted 
I would consider it flawed.

Hi folks 

Anyone have experience with putting growlers on the shelf for retail 
sale.  I'm wondering if they hold unopened for a reasonable 
length of time or if the seals aren't designed for long-term 
storage. 

Also looking for a supplier of growlers...seems to be a bit 
difficult to source them easily in Australia. 

Thanks for any assistance you can offer.
