What a great year for apples. 4 garden apple trees and a single pear tree. 78 gallons of juice in four hours! The best thing was the three families and 7 children having so much fun.
We'll have another go this weekend.

What sort of apples? And what are you doing with them?

As I make my cider from apples from gardens all sorts of apples get used. In fact I read somewhere once that it is best with a good variety. I try to clean up the ground and then shake them out of the tree. Most people are very thankful that they do not have a load of apples to clear in the autumn and like a bottle or two in exchange.
I use a vigo pulping machine and also their big press. Its pretty straightforward and a good deal of fun. Give it a go
