I've got that same press

MNHomesteader 1y ago

Last year was my first year having a press, now every fall I wonder how I lived without it! What do you use the press for?

mtmann101 1y ago

I have only pressed apples in mine

I have that same crusher. Gonna make cider using it

MNHomesteader 1y ago

Hard or regular? Do you have your own trees? I just finished my last batch of cider using our apple waste after freezing and drying. 9 gallons of cidar total.

I do have my own trees! My trees didn’t put out a lot this year so its not going to be a banner year for cider. It’ll definitely be hard though.

We’ll start wine in a few weeks, but we buy juice from the juice house so all I’m doing is fermenting

I hope to start wine making again next year. I really enjoyed it. Just have to not drink so much ;-)

Haha, nice! I'm in my fourth year of wine making. I still suck at, but it is a fun fall activity and sometimes I get lucky.

I did mostly fruit based - Blueberry, Loquat, Muscadine, also mead but honey is way more expensive than sugar.
