Wild, Clean & Free: Harnessing the Beauty of Wild-Fermenting, Without the Flaws

Was presented at CiderCon2022 held in Richmond, Virginia in February. The seminar was moderated by Christine Walter of Bauman’s Cider. Three makers shared a taste of their select ciders that are fermented with wild yeast or what is also referred to as ambient yeast. Another term for this type of fermentation is Natural Cider or a Spontaneous Ferment.
