We have been busy today making cider using local apple varieties, pulping them and then pressing them to extract the juice. I thought that for this little exercise I would create a little home made Cider making video which would be easier than post a load of photographs. Basically, we picked 9 half hundred weight bags of apples, ran them through a clean weed shredder a couple of times and then put the resulting pulp/mash into my fruit press. The result was that we know have 21 gallons of cider on the go for next year.

Here is a bottle from last years efforts.
