Cider Making

Got a load of apples washed them and put them in a blender, then pressed the juice out with a handy dandy boshed DIY fruit press, fermentation is going steady only a few hours after pitching the yeast.

Loving your design for a cider press! Hope it's not patented, because I'm going to copy that design - nice one.
