*hears that accent*

"Finally a man who knows his apples!"

One thing I like about the Irish is that they are down to the point and just do it without any complications and fancy bullshit! Wonderful video sir.

[bc]

Straightforward instructions. Thanks! Starting mine tomorrow!

Iv made mead before but we bought some apples yesterday that actually tasted like green apple candy and thought man that would make a good cider

[jamesgoacher]

I am certain I have a Press somewhere. Last seen probably 20 years ago. It was bought to Press Elderberries and it must be in the Loft but it is hiding.
I have planned tp make some Cider for ages now but never gotten around to it. Must do so.
Thanks for this.

[BeerMan]

Very cool! I would love to make some cider thanks for sharing! Cheers 🍻

[lafamillecarrington]

Very helpful - and you answered my question about whether you really need to add a Campden tablet!
Thanks.

We have so many apples, apricots, strawberries, tomatoes and carrots from our garden ive been looking for fun things to try with them. Sweet rocky mountain water made coors popular and makes our fruits so amazing

[tommyprince]

after shredding my apples I let them sit in the tub for about a week, turning the mash every day before pressing, I use the same type of basket as used here but I use a twelve ton shop press to squeeze the juice out. I believe I get a lot more juice.

Hello!
Thanks for your video.
I have a question that I hope you can answer to. Is the yeast Cerevisiae ok for fermenting apple cider?
Many thanks

[mennomjorna]

Thanks for the nice instructions! How do you make the cider clear? Do you filter it before 2nd fermentation? Mine typically gets cloudy.

Got two 4 year old apple trees. The harvest last year was ok. Also have a two year cider apple which is flowering but not going to produce much this year it doesn't have full branches yet. How do you recommend to start? I may or may not have enough apples for a batch, as also wife and I like an apple tart.

[redsresearch]

where do you get this stuff from Canada

[iamRoxanaFiamma]

This is great! What do you recommend if you're brewing it in a tropical weather, with high humidity and mould a go-go?

[jaksel]

Thanks for a nice video!
I noticed no maceration was used before pressing. I think in this case the pulp looks pretty green and non-oxidized (i.e. no brown color) so if it were up to me, I would let it rest for a few hours before pressing. It does a lot to the taste plus you can extract more juice.

[friendsmaster]

Hello. Great video. Could you please tell me how to make the sanitising water or do you buy it. Thanks.

[danjonesguitarist]

I love this video - thank you! The clearest and most concise I've seen. Thank you. Is there any value in adding more sugar? How long before bottling and how long in the bottle?! 🙂👍

[nickladey]

what bottles do you put the cider in to and do you use corks or bottle tops thanks nick

[SweetLotusDreams]

I have made a fair amount of cider and found that just chopping the applies didn’t yield anything like as much juice as GRATING them, which breaks down the pulp and releases loads of juice. The grater attachment of the food processor is ideal for this job.

Hi, how do you prevent apples from contaminating in press. Do you sanitize the pres with starsan or something similar or just clean it with water?
