Father in law went and planted 60 apple trees. Silly if you ask me. He decides he wants to make cider on a huge scale after never brewing anything in his life. So I gotta help him out. He had a terrible crop. The trees just aren't old enough and the blossoms blew away before any pollination happened. He has been rescuing apples for a couple weeks now.
Luckily, my friend was selling his cider equipment. The father in law bought it all up.
Crush the apples with garburator.
Put in cloth square and turn into a bag with a zip tie to close it up.
Combining a hydraulic shop press an actual grape press, fill it with bags. Put a plastic disc between each bag , making a stack.
Five bags stacked, about 2gallons of apples per bag seems to produce about 7 gallons of juice.
Block the whole thing and press. Take time. Eventually get up to 5tons. Etc.
The leftovers
