Cider Pressing

Started as a family hobby ---we built-our-own apple press in 2009 and pressed 45 gallons.  We moved on to buying and refurbishing (to food grade) some antique presses....first a hand crank press followed by a commercial press (the red monster in the vidoes).  We use these presses to create a range of beverages including unpasteurized sweet cider, apple juice, hard cider, and apple wine.  To offset the hobby cost, we press apples for fellow brewers each fall.  The videos here capture some of our presses in action as well as the refurbishing ---before and after pics.  Enjoy!
