- How!
This is a nice little bit of our cyder-making heritage.
A well known and greatly missed old countryman and his pals making cyder with a twin-screw press in the 1970s (or early 80s)
They are using eating and cooking apples and so this is probably not a cyder county (where the use of pucker cyder fruit would have been/is the norm). Hampshire perhaps, possibly fimed during the time the presenter lived in that shire. That Charlie looks a right card! We wont see his like again - or will we?
R.I.P. Jack - thank you for showing us 'How' to do so many things.
Absolutely excellent and charming video from the Britain I still believe in, this is how Britain should still be.
Old traditions, polite characters, and good cider 👌
Is a beautiful representation of freedom, country and the people who love both 🙂👍
I have stayed with a cider farm's owners for the last 2 years in the New Forest. I first came across the husband in the late 1990's at Barleylands steam fayre. They get a local butcher to make sausages with their cider. Best I have tasted.
Jack Hargreaves, God bless him. I loved watching his programmes when I was a kid. He brought the countryside to the city for us.
We make it exactly the same way today in South Warwickshire. Only thing to add: Jack didn't mention for us the machine that pulps the apples is known as a scratter. Oh, and we fold the hessian into 'cheeses' - not biscuits! (and feed the pigs with what's left of it!). Cheers
I do the same thing with left over body parts 😉
@@Bear2U brick top agrees.
We call them Cheeses too and feed them to the pigs. Our Saddlebacks love it, as we do them 😋
I remember these so well, the whole family would sit down to watch Jack, great old days,,,,tv could learn so much from these.
You don't know Jack 🤩
@@Bear2UGood one😂
Videos such as this make me wish RUclips had a love button along side their like button. This video will go into my saved list. Thank you so much for sharing. It really made my day. I long for the time when we will get back to days like these when men would get together and enjoy life and hard work. Sense of community.
You can get them all on DVD I got them for me oldman its good to see old traditions
Absolutely fantastic. 👍🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
SUPER was my word of choice but yours is no slouch 🤌
This knowledge is absolutely priceless rip jack .
I grew up watching Jack. Great memories
Thanks for sharing👍
So you really don't know jack either, per say 😉
@@Bear2UNow you’re pushing it!!!😂😂
❤ what a lovely brilliant film, thank you 🙏
Quite
I want my country back.
Yeh and people were saying the same thing in the 70s so deal with it. And if you want it back blame Thatcher who sold most of it.
what do you mean what happened? i am canadian so i dont understand. videos like these make me want to go to england, my surname comes from somerset.
Absolutely brilliant, just looking into making some cider and found this gem.
Took the words right out of my mouth
Quite brilliant indeed govna. G day mate
Great atmosphere, even the day, and a lot of character !
Cataclysmic
Marvellous program , Jack Hargreaves was a voice of the ways to survive and feed the country . That cider would have been tasty , I travelled around the west of the country over the years from Poole to the Welsh borders and I helped out at a few cider presses if a hand was needed and I've tasted the best cider out of a wooden barrel and I've not tasted the like for a while . Great video 👍🇬🇧
Much quiter than the drills the new rookies use. 🤣
Excellent,seems like a repeat of a glut of apples this year like in 1977
Does it take a glutton to polish off a whole glut?
This was filmed in the New Forest so would be Hampshire and was the traditional way most country working people made their cider. It would have been filmed in the 60s.
All of Jack Hargreaves programmes were interesting and informative. I have all the available programmes he made in the "Out Of Town" and "Old Country" series.
Surely filmed in the 70s? he mentioned the drought of 1976 retrospectively
Thanks for this video.
I make my own retirement hobby cider, I planted 15 cider trees some years back so I chose the trees to cross pollinate and to get the right acid balance, I also have 2 Brambly if it needs correcting.
Port barrels vary in size but are longer than a wine cask and thus resemble an old clay pipe in shape. Port being fortified means there was less risk of any residue turning to vinegar.
Also wooden barrels sometimes retained a bacteria, which allowed for malo-lactic fermentation, whereby the harsher Malic was converted into the softer Lactic acid in the ageing process.
Do port barrels also have bung holes? Asking for a friend 🙂
Cider hat !!!
watching this very video got me into cider making ,,thankyou very much mr hargreaves
neil delaney wonderful video thanks very much
Pure gold.
That's my favorite kind 😎
fabulous video thanks
Amazing - lets go back to the good old days of 1970 and make some cider! Funnily enough at the time I were helping make the same stuff - not there mind, a bit more to the Western I were!
Are you a leprechaun
Did that in my old local. You'd get some loud mouth yee haw come in, bragging about what he had, and our landlord would eventually say try some of this. Highly amusing 🤣
Noyce drink offs Rock
Beautifully done. Thank you for posting.
Gentle Jack Hargreaves. You taught me so much when I was little. I'm his age now?
Have just upgraded to a slightly larger allotment and inherited some apple an pear trees with it .........
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed this video very much.
Sharing is caring 🙂😍
My type of life 🍺🍺🍺🍻
Good times Roger Wilkins cider Somerset good stuff proper job
Mr Roger Wilkins,,, THE BEST CIDER in SOMERSET!!
What a fantastic old tradition. I like the way they insist on tasting a lot of different cider so as not to offend anyone!!!😂…….Also. I always thought you put sugar in cider. Am I wrong?
This is very similar to how dabs are made.
Whether Charlie makes the best cider is a mater that will be decidered …
🤣 bru noooooo
There's a orchard near me called Dixon cider 😏😏 yassss
I noticed that some of the gentlemen drank their glasses of cider in one go. The downside of that approach is only having a single flavor experience at the very end. Whereas if you take a sip at a time, you get to taste each of them, thereby maximizing the amount of pleasure from that one glass. Lip smacking occurs automatically. Many thanks from a cider-making Oregonian in the USA.
I agree with you - same goes with whiskey
Real men don't worry about trivial things like that, it all comes out in same place. I think their logic is, the quicker you slam it, the quicker you pee to make room for another 🤩 its about quantity not quality, contrary to recent beliefs 🤠
I expect that connoisseurs of quality whiskey and homemade apple cider will take issue with your pronouncement. However, if you only buy commercial cider and rot gut, maybe it's best to get it over with as soon as possible. But since when is savoring a trivial consideration.@@Bear2U
seen cider making at country shows in France
Thirsty work
Great content
Need to contact Sharon and Nigel
nice comment . .
Each layer of sacked sliced apple is called a "Cheese" or "Biscuit"!
Makes perfect sense 🧐
I wonder if this was filmed in East Boldre? If not, i wonder where?
Do you have any more videos of these guys?
Jack Hargreaves that is
remember watching this like it was yesterday. Got to be 50 years ago?
No you just watch 9 months ago, you're welcome 🙂
прошло пятьдесят лет. ушла это счастливая. размеренная жизнь. мы несёмся как ужаленные …..
На этого человека, «Джека Харгривса», (Jack Hargreaves) было приятно смотреть. Хотя в детстве он каждую неделю появлялся в детской телепрограмме. Однажды мы рассказали, как изготавливают или ремонтируют колесо телеги, а на следующей неделе мы наблюдали, как он ловил рыбу в реке или делал сабо. На следующей неделе он объяснит, для чего использовался определенный инструмент. Все эти уездные искусства и навыки были потеряны, когда умер последний из мастеров.
Я вспомнил о нем, когда в нашей местной газете был рассказ о том, как последний традиционный ловец угря ушел на пенсию, положив конец тысячелетним традициям в этой области.
Мистер Харгривз оказал глубокое влияние на многих представителей моего поколения.
@@cyngaethlestan8859 is the end of an era for sure. Woke movement will soon remove these vids to usher in full government control imo
Makes me wonder how they kept their cider long term. Couldn't have just had a barrel they poured it off when needed, surely - the rest of the barrel would be off within a month or two....
Did they wash the hessian sacks after the season was over?
I'm sure you meant sunrise to sunset?
So is that freshly pressed apple juice those guys keep necking or is it cider?
Cider that they'd made from the previous year's juice.
Do they make more than they drink on the day 😂
Had my first taste (and got pissed on it) at age 11. Denings of Higher Farm, Up Mudford, Near Yeovil, Somerset. Had their own mini Cider Factory on the farm. A Pitcher was always put out in the field when we were haymaking so that workers could help themselves. I would work there during school holidays and would be responsible for shovelling the apples into the slicer upstairs.
