Title: I could use more instruction, less talk/history but still a good book
Review: A little too much about the Orchard behind the book but still a good source of information. You'll get some information on apples (that can sometimes be vague- it depends some on what you can get locally), tasting and lots of other details. Five types of cider mentioned- 1 I hadn't heard of before.I'd like more detail on making the stuff and less on "appreciating" but you do get pictures to go with the text and lists of equipment. I did appreciate the information about diagnosing/dealing with problems.Good book, you might want more detail than given here though,(might just be my opinion but I feel like there's validity to it).

Title: Comprehensive information for all stages of the process
Review: Apples to Cider is a fantastic read that takes you through the process of creating apple cider from initially selecting the apples used all the way through the bottling process. This book is not about the mass market produced "ciders" that are popular right now, it is about a true artisanal ciders from small manufacturers.The best part of the book for me was that it was more like you were sitting with a cider maker discussing the process rather than reading an instructional manual. The page breaks include additional information about the cider making process that is not necessary for the process but is helpful for general cider knowledge.Read the complete review athttp://educate.beer/apples-to-cider-book-review/

Title: There are better books on how to make cider
Review: Author and food blogger April White, with considerable help from Farnum Hill Cidersâ Steve Wood has written a book purporting to be about how to make cider at home. The book is attractively illustrated and well designed. It covers the history and origins of cider, tasting cider, cider apples, setting up you cider room, and your first, second and third batches of cider. In addition to some information on how to make cider, the book is packed with information about Farnum Hill Ciders and about their orchard, Poverty lane Orchard. Steve Wood is one of the top cider makers anywhere and the information about him and his orchard is fascinating and well written. The section on tasting cider is very good and the background information on the history of cider is good. The first batch of cider chapter might get someone up and rolling as a home cider maker but the stuff on advanced techniques requires much more explanation to be useful to someone starting out. There are at least three books here and by trying to do too much, the book achieves too little. First, there is a book on the enjoyment and appreciation of ciders that someone who makes cider might sell at their mill to encourage people to buy and drink cider. This complements the second book on Farnum Hill Ciders and Poverty Lane Orchard. The third book, on making cider, probably more suits readers interested in the first two books than those wanting to sink their teeth into cider making. As an instruction on cider making, the novice needs a bridge from the introductory material to the more advanced techniques.

Title: Great Hobby for this Fall!!
Review: A comprehensive overview of the home cider-making process, this book contains beautiful photographs and delivers clear and concise instructions on brewing your first batch of home cider. As an avid gardener in the spring and summer, I was looking for a new hobby to carry me through the colder months and after reading this book I am confident I have the knowledge I need to start my first batch of cider this coming fall. Thanks!

Title: I hate to say it
Review: Was hoping this book was going to be helpful, but it's not. Very limited information. Many pages have limited text. The information provided is general with limited specific details. If I could return - I would. Claude Jolicoeur's, The New Cider Maker's Handbook is the book to buy. I hate to say it, but save your money and pass on this one!
