I've never seen a press like that before. What a great way to do a lot of apples at once! I live in VA too. Hope to be growing lots of apples in our farm. Gonna have to put this vid in the save pile! Thanks for sharing!! 👍

For sure. Glad its helpful. If you aren't far from Sedalia, you should look them up and see if you can buy or trade for some of their cider as they get up to production!

Oh, I can't wait to have a hillside of apple trees. All that cider, all that worm food! Thanks for this.

Mark, wish I lived close to you. My chickens would LOVE the leftovers!

Brings back memories of cranking thr apple crusher and turning the press screw to extract the juice. My 85 year old grandmother supervised the event. Best tasting juice ever

Cool press. I always wanted to build a similar design, but utilize an old stainless steel keg with the top cut out and small holes drilled in it.

Beautiful! I remember watching an old wooden apple cider press in action about 25 years ago near Stowe, VT. It was similar in that it had layers of cloth wrapped apples stacked on layers of wood. I'm not sure how they powered it to exert downward force. What is done with the leftover apple mash?

Hey, I know Mark & Allison! OCPM friend here! Looks great guys, hilarious to see you on a KZfaq channel I watch.

Thats great. I would guess a lot of the folks that watch this channel that live down towards VA would know of their amazing works...

Wonderful video, I hope they had chickens or other farm animals to feed all that used pulp to... Thank you for sharing.

Did you happen to capture footage of the apple processing before the pressing? What type of machine did they use to shred the whole apples down to bits? Thank you for this video! Very neat and low input device!

@edibleacres 6 жыл бұрын

Sure did. That video will be coming out tomorrow...

They put them out for their chickens.

Can you then ferment the crushed pomice? In Italy, the wine makers would ferment the crushed pomice and distill it into a fiery clear liquid called Grappa. It is still available today and some say it is best used to "correct" your morning espresso.

@edibleacres 4 жыл бұрын

You probably could. My friends feed it to pigs and chickens.

Fermenting and all the bare hands in there makes me question how they dont get batches going bad/off. Are they pasturizing with heat or campden tablets?

@edibleacres 6 жыл бұрын

They aren't pasteurizing. They sanitize and wash everything including their hands and if you think about how cider has been made since the beginning this is an incredibly clean approach they are making. Most cider would have horses around, being done in barns, with huge piles of old apples around, etc.

@mycedarridge 6 жыл бұрын

What do they do with all the mash that's left?

@edibleacres 6 жыл бұрын

They have chickens so hopefully they are putting it in with the chickens.

What do they use for the cloth?

@edibleacres 5 жыл бұрын

I believe a natural cheese cloth.

Did you get some of that pomace for your chickens? 😉

@edibleacres 6 жыл бұрын

I got a bunch of cider... Pomace being driven up 400+ miles didn't seem like the best use of gas since the car was full and we've still got rotten apples up here :)
