After months if not years of frustration with the former web hosting company, ukcider.co.uk has now moved to a new host. Migrating the cider wiki site was a job I’d put off for too long, but now its done and I hope the new, carefully researched chosen web hosting company will provide better reliability, possibly faster performance and certainly less exorbitant fees. For users of the site there shouldn’t have been any noticeable disruption after the downtime last weekend, and all user accounts and logins have been transferred across exactly as they were. The only likely glitch could be with images that have been uploaded to the wiki ( not the ones embedded from uk cider on flickr) because the mediawiki directory hierarchy for storing media files is convoluted and most of the permission had to be corrected manually. This means there could be one or two pictures which I missed, in which case you can either upload them again or let me know the page in question and I’ll try to find them and fix it. The version of mediawiki remains the same, but the host’s PHP and mySQL are more recent versions. Do let me know if there are any related problems with this blog too, which has also moved along with the domain.

Now back to making cider and expanding the online cider and perry expertise at www.ukcider.co.uk

It’s taken a bit of a while to decide on the design for the real cider stickers and posters and to work out a way to get them printed without any central funding, but where there’s an enthusiastic community like ours there’s always a way.

A short run of prototype stickers have already been distributed to most of the real cider pubs in South Dorset thanks to Rose who reports a great reception wherever they are offered. The stickers themselves have been designed by Jez, and printed in small batches by Dick Dunn over in the USA and posted over to Rose here in the UK. Now there are just enough to send out a handful each to people who know they can definitely get them put up in doorways and windows of pubs that serve full juice real cider and perry.

The idea to get this up to the next stage is that the artwork is made available on the ukcider wiki so that anybody with a good quality printer can follow the instructions to make some more for local distribution. There are over 1,000 cider pubs recommended in our online cider pub guide but we want to concentrate on those that sell unique, local craft ciders. Much as we really do appreciate all those Wetherspoons pubs that sell Westons Old Rosie and Vintage cider, both excellent drinks, we are aiming at the outlets for smaller producers at first.

We now have over 350 cider farm addresses listed, many with links to their own websites and all of the French ‘departements’ named which makes it a bit easier to see where they are.

The interesting this is that as well as the well know cider producing regions of Normandy and Britanny, there’s also a fair amount of small scale production going on in other areas, far away. The Champagne and Burgundy districts in particular.

To get an idea of where the various French Departements actually are, relatively, I found the following map helpful:
