Credenhill, taking his mother's advice to make a career in food or drink 'because neither ever go out of fashion.'

Using apples from the orchard at his father's rectory and an old stone press on the farm next door, Percy made the first drop of cider upon which the family fortune would be made. Today HP Bulmer makes 65% of the five million hectolitres of cider sold annually in the %20%20%20The%20United%20Kingdom%20of%20Great%20Britain%20and%20Northern%20Ireland%20is%20a%20%20%20country%20in%20%20%20western%20Europe%2C%20and%20a%20member%20of%20the%20%20%20British%20Commonwealth%20and%20%20%20European%20Union.%20...

Meanwhile the brothers, with a £1000 loan from their father, bought an 8 acre (32,000 m&sup2) field just outside the City walls and built their first cider mill. It was little more than a shack compared to the huge modern, stainless steel, computer controlled cider making plant that has grown up on a 75 acre (300,000 m&sup2) site nearby.

Cider making in those early days was a hit or miss affair, the %20%20%20In%20its%20strictest%20sense%20fermentation%20(scientifically%20called%20zymosis)%20is%20the%20energy-yielding%20anaerobic%20metabolic%20breakdown%20of%20a%20nutrient%20molecule%2C%20such%20as%20glucose%2C%20without%20net%20oxidation.%20... fermentation being achieved by the wild %20%20%20%20%20Saccharomyces%20cerevisiae%20is%20a%20yeast%20used%20in%20both%20baking%20and%20brewing.%20%20%20... yeast in the apple, and more often than not, the cider turned sour.It was a college friend of Fred's, Dr Herbert Durham, who, in the 1890s, isolated the wild yeast to create the first pure cider yeast culture which would ensure all future fermentations were consistent. It was the start of commercial cider making.
