Preparations start for 2011 cider day

quick vid on the 2010 cider and prepararions for 2011. Been through quite a bit of it so far and its great. two barrels and they are both just fantastic. one was sligtle more acidic but I think thats because it was the youngest. Made a move to bag in the box simply for time saving. one of my 60 litre barrels will go nicely into 3 x 20 litre bag in the box for me or 5-10 litre ones for people who have helped or donated apples. I've a collection of about 250 bottles so I can still enjoy some conditioned cider as and when.

I dont know the exact dimensions yet but yes. I think 37kgs per meter is about 8" high and 6" wide. Hopefully when the reinforcements are put in we will have something that will handle the pressures. Little worried about weight as we moved the top of the press rather thak chock with wood. The new cheese cloths have arrived and it looks great. Its cost £60 for 14m2 of it so its cost next to nothing but is industrial grade fine netting thats almost stiff and it looks tough.....so we will see......

Hi. Possibly if I can get the materials and time. I know its OK to use but could be better so if I get the time. I'm thinking of changing the chute part to stainless steel and change its shape so theres more fruit exposed to the roller at any one time. Also considering putting a mesh underneath to hold larger bits for longer to turn it more into porridge. we'll see.

Did you get the 6 inch i section for the press? Looking forward to seeing what carnage you create with the press this year.
