My pleasure. It's really easy and if you want to make hard cider you need an airlock and a bucket or carbon and some yeast and some inexpensive chemicals and tools and a good hard cider book
Very nice tutorial!!!
I second the suggestion to put the mash in front of your best trailcam. got lots of good pics last year of the critters cleaning up.

Assembly took me several days as the directions were not well matched. I bought the kit with the electric motor and iron wheel both, as well as wheels on the cider. There were general assembly directions. then directions for the e motor where you removed bolts. Some confusion about the bolt packs and they sent me another bolt pack.

I got it. I didn't get the electric motor as I need the exercise lol. Does it ever get stuck with too many apples? I agree assembly was not easiest and the tolerances were tight. But it's working great now. I don't have the wheels but I think will get as it's a mother to move alone. I think you can use a strainer that the seeds can fall through as you hose the mash
Ya but who wants to pay $1000 just for a grinder? If I need them that fast ill just buy the motorized option for $350. Doing it the slow way we still made 50 gallons of cider last year in about a day.
I love cider making! Here's a photo of my wife's cousins and I pressing a few years ago. We did 90 gallons that day, and still had apples to do the next weekend. Cousin Andy's setup is a true antique, the old grinder has a patent date of 1887 on the logo.
Apples look really good, Aero. Are you selling any by the roadside yet ?? ( I asked the same ? of you on Greyphase's thread where you posted pix of your HC ).
Sounds awesome. My first batch with pumpkin, raisins, honey vanilla cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg is bubbling away. Don't know if it will good or god awful lol
