Alec Steinmetz, Will Correll and Matthew Meyer are sharing their story of starting an urban cidery. This is Part 1 of what will be an ongoing story of the start-up Buskey Cider of Richmond, Virginia.
The cidermaking tanks arrived in February 2016.
- 5 wine tanks
- 4 brewing tanks, which are conical
They pitched the yeast for Buskey's first cider on March 16, 2016
- 2 - 30 barrels tank pitched with one strain
- 4- 15 barrel tanks all have different strains
- 3- 4.2 barrel tanks for specialty ciders
Opening date is expect in late April when they hope to be serving the first cider to the public. They are working towards a 20-24 day production time.
