Over 300 gallons of honey crisp cider
Wow, what does the cider press look like?
What kind of pressing setup does that require? I'm looking to get a 4 gallon press next year, but I have no idea how long it takes to get 5 gallons of juice from that.
Ya, really.
...and, what in the world are you gonna do with 50 gallons of cider ?
My press was 5 gallons, filled full and cranked down as hard as I could would yield about a quart
The press looks very much like a MacIntosh press from Pleasant Hill Grain. Is that what you have?
Also, I've never pressed cider before. Assuming I have a grinding crew that can keep up with the press, how long does it take to cycle through a bucket? I spent 4 hours getting almost 2 gallons from a juicer attached to my KitchenAid mixer, and I'm assuming a press would be much faster than that.
Press is second hand so I don't know where it originally came from. I didn't time myself but the press pulled about a quart in five-ish minutes. So about 40 minutes to get you two gallons
Do u find some grinders work better than others? Thinking about getting a press...similar to yours...and a grinder too.
