Making apple cider with a DIY cider press and apple grinder
October at my house is a time for making homemade apple cider. I loved making this DIY cider press and apple grinder which has allowed me to produce countless bottles of cider with apples from my own yard! Amazon links to some of the products I used in this video are below

Looks like a MacGregor 26M. Would love to see more of it and your modifications!
What a heart-warming video! I have just replaced our washing machine and a friend recommended using the drum from the old one as the body of a cider press. It is rust-proof and already has liquid drainage holes!
That sounds like a great idea. It’s probably stainless steel too!
@@randommaker439 Absolutely. 🙂
👍👍👍👍👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 super
Why do you call it cider. It’s simply great apple juice. Cider contains alcohol. Anyway. Looks great.
So cider is supposed to be alcoholic. You’ve made apple juice. Well done.
Depends. Where I come from, alcoholic cider is called “hard cider”. You can certainly ferment cider after if that’s your thing. It’s just not my thing.
Negative Ghost Rider. Cider is simply unfiltered. Apple juice is filtered. Cider can be sweet (non-fermented & therefore non alcoholic)or hard(fermented and alcoholic).
@@krisduenzl1476 It isn’t cider in the same way grape juice isn’t wine. The US is the only country in western civilisation that uses the term hard cider. Everywhere else, it’s just cider (alcoholic) or apple juice (not alcoholic). (German = Apfelwein!). Of course, you call it what you like, that’s fine, America has a habit of altering the meanings of words. But, when posting to a global audience, anyone not from the US will think half of the video is missing - we expect alcohol! Filtered or not - to most of the planet, this is just apple juice. PS - Cider has been produced in Britain and Gaul (France) since at least Roman times. We have a pretty good idea of how it’s made and what it’s called, but you do you 😘. This isn’t a slight, just some words for educational purposes.
@@Tykewarrior you’re in danger of sounding like a complete fanny there! That’s another word with dual meaning for you… you can take it either way 😂
@@randommaker439 great video - thanks for sharing 😊
So cider is supposed to be alcoholic. You’ve made apple juice. Well done.
Go to any cider mill. The apples come out as cider, not booze....can't fix stupid.
What nonsense! I can purchase regular non-alcoholic apple cider in any grocery store. Never heard of it being alcoholic! Hot spiced cider drink on the other hand is another story!
Thank you it was a good video! I would like to know a little more about how you did the grinder. And the presser! The both look interesting!
That's Apple Juice, Not Cider
My understanding is that juice is strained and cider is not - thus cider is more pulpy. How are you defining juice and cider?
@@randommaker439in Swedish we have different words for the pressed apples, “must”, and the the stored one with alcohol in it, “cider”. Juice is named the same as in English, but may include the meaning of “must”. A quick search told me that in the states, you say hard cider for the one with alcohol in it. Don’t think it’s the same in England.
@@randommaker439 Thats cider all day long where I grew up...great video.
@@simonjonsson3654 it isn’t. It needs the booze. This juice or ‘must’ needs fermenting by the natural yeast found on the apples.
In the US, what we call apple juice they call apple cider, and what we call cider they call hard apple cider.
Brilliant. I have been looking for a stove for my boat for a while and always been put off by the cost. I was half way there making my own when I came across your channel. Luckily we were on the same wavelength and my base is already done now looking for some strong bookends. Thank you for sharing 😊
Awesome can we purchase such a press from you
Hi. Thank you for the video. Yes, I found an aquarium tank at Goodwill and got a Robo Fish at Hobby Lobby. My cat likes to watch the fish swim around, so I will probably get another and try to decorate the tank a little with some sand/gravel and other stuff. But I really like what you've done and the circulating water and how it makes the zebra fish and the jellyfish look real.
Hi- I found this whilst researching fake fish for a table centrepiece for a marine-coral reef inspired dinner party where I will place a large rectangular glass "aquarium as the centre piece. I am looking to find any kind of miniature pump that would not require being plugged in - in other words, it can run on a battery in a sealed unit. Have you come across any such a thing and if so, can you let me know please? I will subscribe to your channel so you can message me.
Thanks, this is really useful for what I'm trying to do with mine. Your solution is nice and simple and easy to build
Thanks 😊
I would make breads and pies and other baked goods with the leftover mash. You could even remix some squash recipes with it. There’s also a type of stew that requires the mash to make it. It gets cooked with a couple pork hocks to start it out. The meat will release all the fat into it and you make a sort of gravy with it. Adding water when necessary, you don’t want it to burn. Once the hock is cooked everything gets turned off to rest so you can cut up the pork hock into pieces and add it back into the stew. Save the pork skin and fat that might be leftover. It’s almost like a crispy dessert in small portions. Add whatever veggies and seasonings you want into the stew and heat up the stew until everything is tender.
i usually just carry mine in the bag down to the water. i want to build a bicycle trailer to haul in the bag or fully set up and inflated. great ideas. 🍻
Nice idea, but you need a support for the axle. To keep from collapsing.
Where you get the plastic board
Might be too late, but a big box lumber store, or a plastic cutting board at a big store (W__?) that has housewares/kitchen department.
Awesome!!
What kind of water did you use?
Yours needs an all thread axle or something. I posted my pvc trolley in inflatable boat mods group.. I think you'd like it. The section where my wheels bolt in I used metal pipe.
Are you setting up your home to be a magic quest scavenger hunt?? Like the ones at Great Wolf Lodge?
Hey, you got it! Yeah, it's something I've been building at my house for quite a few years. I probably have 25 different interactive "magic" items in various corners of my house. Some of them are pretty outrageous :) Are you a fan of GWL? I've loved going there a few times over the years
I thought I recognized the interior of a MacGregor
Yes indeed. Excited for summer - it's almost time to pull off the winter tarp again!
1994 26S here
If you used smaller diameter pipe would that make it stronger
I think there's a sweet spot of pipe thickness, and I think I used the size that is thick enough to be really strong but still a small enough size to where it's manageable. Not everything I've made from PVC has held up as I had hoped, but this boat dolly actually has
Yeah would like to see more
Great idea I'm going to try this but maybe smaller and not as high.... For my Colorado pontoon boat
Please where did you buy the talking fruit ?
It was something I made for one of my kids for Christmas one year. It's based on this comedy sketch from Studio C: ua-cam.com/video/ZtRL6R03ZDc/v-deo.html
I think it works perfectly no letting a big lot thank you. I have a 10.10ft flat bottom kobirli and was thinking about putting dolly wheels on the boat. I would have to put holds in the transom,but if I pushed the boat over rocks it could damage the transom. I would appreciate some. Ideas for this boat she is new and I bought her this winter, any help at all would be appreciated thank you.
So you never made the video about what your actually doing with all these things
It's true! I think yesterday was the first time someone guessed what those were all about. Something I'd definitely like to make some videos about
Thank you for this video it gives me an idea if I deside to make one for my boat,
nice simple build, most excellent!
I bought a nice battery box with a built in breaker and usb charging ports. Also a little solar panel / charger that connects to a “cigarette lighter” style port that is also in that battery box. But before I had those two things I used it for years and didn’t worry about anything fancy Length of time on the water depends on how well you take care of the battery. I usually get 3 days of trolling power when the battery is fresh.
I recently purchased the Intex 5 excursion inflatable boat and I have a Minnkota trolling motor. I’m curious to know your set up with the car battery and how long does the battery last? Does it last an entire day on the water? Do I have to use a circuit breaker?
You are an eccentric hoarder?
The giant weather forecasting cloud looks very cool
How do you prevent algae
Yeah made it, with some upgrades and posted information but removed it from the post no get back from Mike fell on deaf ears . Un Subbed ..Bye !
Glad you made it and that it worked ok for you. I remember reading about your upgrades, strengthening the supports, etc. Sorry you left unhappy :(
Veey nice thank you
Nice..... Real nice. These stoves are very expensive so I appreciate you sharing.
Use salted water pouring the salt
Man, i love this idea!!
Love it, great video 👍👍💚🍎🍎🍎🍎🍎🍏🍏🍏🍏🍋
Lol i totally had these jellyfish pets while i was cycling my tank to make it safe for my real fish. It was silly and fun while it lasted. I kept the jellyfish in my tank supply box...i got attached.
the best boat stove bang for buck i have ever seen am going to hope there one in UK i can buy
Great job will defenately save this video so when i get ready to build mine.thank you😊
Pvc is not cheap since 2020.
True that
I use distilled water
How long does it last?
🌿
There’s a quick, easy way using a hand truck, my website shows how, you’ll see a canoe, but it should work fine with your inflatable.
That is, what material is the entire system made of?
