@dan3nad if you have a small amount BUT the point is a large size press for the MULTIPLE apple trees which could fill a truck bed or more would burn out a juicer. I have gone through 2 food processors just chopping up the apples. Juicers are not meant to run an entire day and would take much more time. A press does not ned electricity where a juicer does. A press can be brought out in the orchard with no worries on an outlet.
I really like your lifestyle and how you are inventive. I love your shirt! The times are comin where whoever can, they will be going back to the old lifestyle. I say "Great". Thanks for Posting. Much is to be Learned from People like yourself!
I saw this shop press in an ad after I made my pinewood press. Anyway I think it is a cool idea! I make much more at a time though. Take a look at my channel and let me know what you think. Thanks! Nick
@SaveSkills I can make more then what I show in the video. By lowering the box tray-where the metals pins are holding it in place. But I had one mesh bag left after bursting the other 2 I owned. LOL. I love the look of the wood ones but after pricing the hard wood for such a model, I knew it was not something I could afford to spend almost $300 on. Some pieces (the 4x4 or 2x4) of hard wood were priced at $50 a piece and not in normal stock so special order only for 4ft tall ones Cool channel!.
Thank you both. I would advise NOT doing grapes in this just due to my experience yesterday...It was real slow and the grapes were popping. Then I cranked the jack one too many times and ..POP! Grape guts all over the walls, ceiling and my face. I stood there with this "O" face and unthinking said aloud "uh oh.." Big mess and lesson learned. So I just put the grapes in a 5 gallon bucket, wash the kids feet and let them play grape stomper. :)
@daikaiju20 ~ I will do one in the next month as a short tutorial but not with 5 gallons. LOL. I already have 5 gallons brewing. I will most likely show it as 1 gallon. Just takes alot of work prepping apples before loading into the press without having a grinder and apples of an orchard large size. Mine are the size of lemons and apple corers usually take more of the apple flesh around the core then needed. I will work on a hard cider tutorial before mid october. :)
wouldnt it be easier to just buy a juicer!?
