Had the grandchildren working this afternoon and we crushed apples & pressed 5 gallons of juice.
Shame they are too young to enjoy the cider, I will just have to drink it all myself.......

That Hugh Fernley-Whittingstal likes his cidar
I am envious. Its not cheap to buy here either. How soon will you be able to sample the brew?
I have an apple tree here that I have never eaten an apple from for the whole 15 years its been growing.POSSOMS
The little varmints can't wait until any are ripe they eat them green.
But they are cute little guys

Always ready to share.....
I've brought the 5 gallons indoors so it should ferment out in a couple of weeks. I might add a bit of extra sugar & poke the alcohol %age up a bit.

LoL Your basket looks a tad undersized for the pressing beams.

I'm about to get cracking on my new press.

Not wrong!
That was made years ago for a small press I when I was into wine making.
I have plans to build a bigger basket to the same design using rings rolled up from stainless strip but have yet to get around to it .

I've just started my press thread. Currently working on the video to show off the tools I'll be using to build it.
