039: Andreas Sundgren | Brännland Cider, Sweden

For Andreas' Brännland Cider is Ice Cider

Andreas Sundgren of Brännland Cider discusses iscider (ice cider) in this chat. A winner of multiple awards for his ice cider, he follows traditional techniques that are "true to the quality denomination of Quebec". He reached out to renown American ice cider maker Eleanor Leger of Eden Cider of Newport Vermont, crediting her for helping him understand the makings of ice cider.

Based in Sweden, Andreas uses cryoconcentration – which is where the apple juice pre-fermentation is frozen to separate the water from the juice. The juice is then racked (siphon) out of the frozen mass of water and then fermented.

Andreas Cider Making at Brännland

How to define cider? "A wine made from 100% apple juice. Made in the same way as wine.

"Honest cider that has at least 50-60% apple juice."

Why not call it ice apple wine?
- "Cider is the word used to differentiate a grape wine from an apple wine."
