Hello,

I am looking at this newsgroup again for the first time in several years and
saw your posting. I'd like to know about making hard cider, and your recipe
with the honey sounds interesting too. I've brewed one batch of mead in the
past and was not very impressed with my results. Can anyone point me to more
information on the web for making hard cider?

thanks,

Erik
