Further Web Resources

Here's a bundle of interesting but totally random cider-related links to browse.  You'll need to use your browser's "back" button to return to my site after checking these out, though. Please e-mail me if any of the links get broken and don't work, or if you'd like to suggest something else that should be added:

• Making vinegar on a small commercial scale - the Austrian LABU site
