Adding Apple Cider to our home grown menu

I built an Apple grinder to pulverize the apples for pressing.









I was lucky to find free labor in the area. She cut out all the worm holes and rot in the apples. I didn't see the necessity.







I pressed the apples using my hydraulic press.
With it I could put tons of pressure on the pulverized apples.

















We were able to get 8 gallons of Cider.




I fermented 6 gallons of Apple wine. This will produce 24 corked bottles.
