hey paul, great video. I have been making cider here in the US for several years. I have been doing smaller volumes in plastic buckets or glass carboys. I wanted to try to use a barrel this year and I was wondering a few things. In my experience the primary fermentation can be fairly messy, so do you empty some cider from the barrel to leave headspace? And if so, how do you deal with that empty space during aging? Perhaps it is not something to worry about but in the brewing I have done so far, leaving excessive air in the aging vessel can lead to acetobacter or other spoilage. Furthermore, what is the timing on bottling? Do you bottle at one point in the year, and if so when? In the video you mention that the cider that is leftover from bottling becomes the calvados, but did you bottle immediately before distilling or was that a long time prior? Just curious. Thanks!

What type of apples do you use? What are the green ones and do they have the "Green apple flavor" like Granny smith, lodi and Rhode Island Greening?

Really wonderful video! Is this a business or for family consumption? Also, do they pitch a separate yeast for the fermentation?

Strictly family consumption.
