We pressed a “bin” of apples this weekend – roughly 25 bushels. Fortunately, the apples we got were really nice and large. Apparently the bin had been dropped, causing some bruising, which automatically turned the apples into “juice grade”, which was lucky for us. It only took a few hours to run the apples through the cider press – it seems that every year we get more efficient with this process. There is nothing as good as fresh pressed cider! Though some of the juice ended up in a fermenting tub as well 🙂
