Cider Chat

Andreas Sundgren's Brännland Cider specialty is iscider (ice cider). He has won multiple awards and follows traditional techniques that are "true to the quality denomination of Quebec". He reached out to renown American ice cidermaker Eleanor Leger of Eden Cider of Newport Vermont, crediting her for helping him understand the makings of ice cider. Based in Sweden, Andreas uses cryoconcentration - which is where the apple juice pre-fermentation is frozen to separate the water from the juice. The juice is then racked (siphon) out of the frozen mass of water and then fermented.
