a good recipe, thanks, but i should have worded my question along the lines of
"does anyone have any advice in how to get apples (in large quantities, think a few to several thousand apples harvest based upon the fact the trees are 20+ years old and there's 12 of them) into a state where by i can turn them into cider? i.e I think i might need a scratter, a press.. etc. any help on what kit is recommended and brands/model would be greatly appreciated".
I have a cellar and a decent amount of outside space. The harvest will obviously be yearly and so i dont mind investing in some kit, I guess given the yield I will be looking at, buying kit thats above the average home gardener in scale but below that of industrial brewing is required.
My knowledge of this is absolute zero, so far I'm at the point of
"12 old apple trees, wow thats a lot of apples growing on them, hmmm I know.. given that alcohol is so expensive over here then how about I brew my own cider ?? (for home consumption obviously). How hard can it be? I have a cellar, a large garden and indoor space all of which is private away from prying eyes... chefs autumn cider brew... I like the sound of it. Ooo I know, I've heard of using a raspberrypi as a brewing controller, so a bit of investment, a lot of apple picking and some hard work and I'll be sipping chefs cider brew v1.0 in a short while.. nice"
Funny you should mention that, I'm tackling the same problem...
