that was a great video im very interested in making hard cider this year and have a 5 gallon carboy. how many apples, in weight, did it take you to make 5 gallons of apple cider? roughly

[Podchef]

I didn't weigh my apples, but it took about 3 feed sacks full-probably around 150 pounds or so.

Oh yeah, just read a bit about yeast, Yeast is an interesting product, I used to be a baker for 8 years and didn't even think about how they grow Yeast, apparently that is another reason why they used to press wine berries with bare feet because there is natural Yeast between the toes, uggghh yuck! haha! I lost most of the apples picked they went bad from a few that were in the bunch.

Don't use bleach!, don't even use tap-water unless you live near a reverse osmosis water treatment center that doesn't add artificial chloride to the water, spring water is what you want! Don't kill the natural yeasts found on the apples, they will eventually be out-competed by the yeast you add anyway.

Chlorine taste cider. Do you realy think you can rinse out the bleech out from the apple?

[hatstalker]

very good video 

[brightredmerkin]

I like seeing things not running particularly smoothly (like getting the pulp out of the press), and I wish you wouldn't cut out dealing with it. I like it when video hosts aren't particularly smooth. Anyway, great work and thanks!

@scabo0o usually 20lbs of apple = 1gal

[thomasvanderburg]

Thanks for the video.

Be careful with the use of chlorine in any fermentation process. It is very difficult to wash off and developes carcinogens during fermentation. If you feel the need to sanitize apples use potassium or sodium metabisulfite.
