Apples Specifics

[DaMonkey]

Is there a book or a website that talks about sugar content (OG), acidity and tannins in different types of apples?

I just started working here and I'm a total noob but our extension website may have some of what you are looking for...we have an heirloom cider apple orchard and do some varietal testing so it's worth a look...check the reports links for most of the data...

Great stuff, but wow on how much variation there can be year to year.

Tannin levels in a Chisel Jersey (I have one) were 0.32 in 2011, 1.00 in 2010 and 0.43 in 2009.

Do you have the Cider-Apples-11.pdf data in XLS format? It would be cool to do a scatter plot against a sweet, sharp and bitter matrix.
