Hi all,

I have some full IBC's of cider which I don't have the capacity or time to bottle. I am happy for them to go free to someone who can use them and would just need collection arranged by the party who takes the IBC.

I have 10 of these:
3 x 1000L Bramley Juice (2022 & 2023 harvests)
1 x 1000L Kingston Black (2023 harvest)
2 x 1000L Dabinett (2022 Harvest)
1 x 1000L Yarlington Mill (2022 harvest)
3 x 1000L Yarlington Mill & Browns blend (2022 & 2023 harvest)

I also have 10 (2 x barrel) racks which I don't need. I would be happy to take £25 each for these. 

Finally, I have about 8 empty IBC's which anyone can take free if they arrange collection.

I am happy to send juice samples out to anyone who is genuinely interested. Come back to me directly on email and we can talk further.

I may also have some on lees cider in 750ml champagne bottles available in May or June, which I would also be happy to go to a good home for a small fee (just to cover my expenses). This could also be disgorged before sending to someone at the cost of the buyer (usually around £1 per bottle). Again, happy to send more information on these or samples for genuine interest. 

Thanks,

Liam Tinston (Tinston Cider)

Hi James,

You can have one of the Dabinett full IBC's no problem. I will shoot you over some dates for collection once I've had a look and you can arrange collection from there.

Sounds good.

Thanks,

Liam

Hi James,

Would Friday 24th April for collection work for you? Just let me know how you will be collecting, so I can be ready for you.

There may be some other IBC;s if you are interested in more than one.

Kind regards,

Liam

Hi all,

I still have some IBC's of Bramley cider available free for collection, good as a blending component.

I also have some 750ml Green Champagne bottles available, 3.5 pallets (approx 1000 bottles per full pallet). Open to offers and buyer to arrange collection, looking for £200 for a full pallet ideally.

Cheers,

Liam Tinston

Hi all,

I have now collated what I have in terms of 750ml bottled cider on lees. This is a mix of varieties and is currently bottled under crown cap with yeast lees still in the bottle. It has been secondary fermented to 6 bar pressure, for use as champagne style cider. 

The options are, I can offer these bottles as they are for £1.50 per bottle, alternatively, I can get them disgorged, corked and muzzled for £3 per bottle. The ciders I have available are:
2300 x bottles of 100% Bramley cider (2021)
1150 x bottles of Russet, Cox, Worcester Blend cider (2021)
500 x bottles Yarlington Mill, Browns blend cider (2021)
300 x bottles oaked Dabinett cider (2022)

Most of these ciders have been in bottle since 2022/2023, so have plenty of complexity from the yeast lees ageing.

Let me know if you are interested and I am more than happy to send samples to interested parties. I am also very much open to negotiation. However, the already spent cost into these bottles is more than I am asking for.

Thanks,

Liam Tinston
