grammar is your friend Tony

@@feolender2938 you dont need good grammer to be hygenic

What exactly is filthy? I see nothing untoward.

This is the early stage of an alcoholic cider drink. Any pathogens are destroyed in the fermentation process. No need to be concerned at this point in production.

The acid content kills most nasties and if its fermented even fewer survive. I bet you still eat hot dog sausages. Go look at how they're made. I guarantee you'll want a glass or two of this lovely stuff to settle your stomach

David Benefiel our cleanliness inside is fully complying with our local EHO standards,perhaps the opening shot of the fruit is somewhat off putting to you,this fruit is mechanically picked from the commercial orchard floor with all the associated leaves/debris,the bulk hopper moving floor and the starcoils aims to remove the bulk of it prior to washing and inspecting the apples going up the mill elevator,once milled into pomace it enters a fully enclosed system that is routinely washed down,perhaps you are confusing this with US style apple cider production using prime hand picked fruit from bins.

townie

It’s high enough ya neep

One thing to keep in mind, this is for alcoholic cider production. Any pathogens that would be in it at this stage won’t survive the fermenting process once a high enough level of alcohol is present in the cider.

apple cider usally made of industrial apple, which has aesthetical or size problems, but not rotten

Sorry to be off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!

@Gael Harlem Instablaster =)

@Anders Milan I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Anders Milan It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thanks so much, you really help me out :D

@Gael Harlem No problem =)

Eric haskell They are mechanically harvested fruit off the grass floor of a traditional cider orchard, this will always pick up sticks leaves etc, so-leaving the hopper the fruit is run over the star coils to remove most of the debris,dropping into the tank so the black rots etc are picked out manually,in cider circles Codling moth larvae are viewed as added profile a yeast stimulant! In the You Tube videos there is a 2015 version showing improvements made to our set up.

i suppose it works out if they are still in business. never had their cider so i don't want to pass judgement...in the US i don't think anyone would be thrilled to see what that fruit looks like, but we are raised on perfect looking and heavily treated fruits after all.

You American?

mark young Glad you liked the video,it’s a Goodnature Squeezebox Press,with their coarse weave bags in use,if you’re interested there is a similar video on our 2015 season on there as well ,shows a few improvements,haven’t heard of burlap bags before?

Barry Topp Why wait 24 hours? A purpose? Wild strains and bac will take hold.

BeeRich33 from my own experience wild yeast is not controllable at all and it is risky , so using an effective strain of yeast is much more conenient and guaranteed.myself i produce apple cider vinegar

Angel De la Cruz, you can eat your american shit, full with chemicals and preservatives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mandru,,, we do organic over here in the States with out the Chemical shit and most do have the chemical shit,,,but those apples look like the ones we feed our animals with,,,they had their better days, not only the apples look bad, but the whole process looks dirty. Sorry don't mean to offend you, but it don't look to safe.

Angel De la Cruz Zombies Apples.

Good enough for your animals, but not good enough for you? Don't see the logic here. Those apples are perfectly good for cider. They have just began the fermenting process by themselves. And as you might know, cider is made by fermenting. Btw, human digestion is more tolerant to fermented products than your average animals'. That's due to certain environmental, cultural and evolutionary processes of human digest over thousands of years. So you are better eating those yourself, not feeding your animals. Also, I don't see anything to complain on the overall process. Floor looks like it's been washed every day etc.

Shit shit shit shit........... stop shiting people
