Oops thought I sent out a reply, most of the trees are under 4 years old from grafting so it will be awhile before these babies start producing let alone me thinking how Im going to blend them. Most of my mature apples are dessert/fresh eaters so we will see how they blend up. I was going to make a scratter but have decided to build a DIY grinder - SS hoper and feed tube into a food processing like cutting disk that will make a mash.... Press will be my large shop press pressing on a SS tub. Goal is cider - then hard cider and finally someday apple brandy.
