Need cider Press recommendations

Cutting the apples or making htem soft is where the investment should be. Alot of ways to press the juice. Not many to cut the apples up.

Purchasing a grabage disposal and making a tabel for it is a common affordable option for maceration. Another option s to freeze the apples, then press them. Freeing destroys the cell walls and makes them soft. Select your trees right, you can freeze the apples before hunting season, then fill the freezer with venison.

they make electric motor kits for most hand crank grinders.


Far as the press goes, you should consider how much you will be maiking. You're making 20 gallon or less, basic press will do.

H/ow much filtering will you want to do? Thats also a function of a press too.

I have four presses already including a Happy Valley Ranch Homesteader I could buy a motor kit for but I’ve been unimpressed with its grinding.
 
You will like them!

I believe that’s what mine is too. I also have the apple crusher that I hook up to my planer motor. I highly recommend them. No issues
