First Apple pressing of the year!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 сер 2019
- As you may know we've had a lot of strong winds recently here in the UK, and thus I had a lot of windfall apples (and pears too). When I retired last April I gifted myself an apple 'scratter' or mill and a 20 litre hydropress so I could be self-reliant when it comes to cider making.
This was my first opportunity to 'road test' the equipment and I am more than happy!!!
that juice is now being fermented (follow up video) into hard cider - it otherwise would have been wasted. I will do one or two more videos on the process.
thanks for watching :-)

Now you really have a great set-up for the apple cider making. Very nice. 👍👍 Best wishes Bob.
cheers Bob! I'm loving it my friend :-)
Very nice retirement gifts to yourself. That is going to save some hard work. Hope the cider is nice after fermentation process look forward to seeing update on this woody.
Thanks Tracy, this batch is already fermenting well (follow up video soon) but i've yet to mill and press the main crop.
take care and thanks for watching.

Great job saving the apples and turning them into juice. I'll bet that cider will be supper yummy. Thanks for sharing this process! Great video.
Thank you so much for watching. I was extremely pleased to save those apples and extract the juice. It's fermenting nicely (follow up video). Take care and have a great day!
Beautiful beautiful work my friend. Great video 😊

Very cool bit of kit there buddy!! That will serve you well in a months time for your huge main harvest!!!

I've never seen this before. Love apple cider and wine, 😋 great tools. New sub
Thanks so much! check out my 'easy white wine' recipe too.
First..That machine works really good. Looking forward for next update. Have a great Sunday
Great to hear from you my friend, yes it's a very efficient and efficient set up.
Have a great day too👍👍
AMAZING!!! Great setup and I bet it tastes wonderful!
Thanks so much my friend! It will take a while before the taste test as I'm making hard cider.
@@cumbrianhomestead Oh nice! Cant wait to see an update on that!!!
@@BroadwayGardener
Excellent!
I'll be doing a few over the next few months.👍🥂
That is a very great way to use apples that would be lost. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Patricia, yes it's a wonderful set up of which I'm very happy with.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day 👍
Those are both nice bits of kit! Reminds me I gotta get my arse in gear and finish my press!
thanks Tim , i'm very happy with them!
Awesome set up you have now and works in no time at all! Job well done. Can't wait to see the cider at the end. You should sell it haha!!
LOL 😁
I'll be doing a few follow up videos Greta.
Thanks for watching and enjoy your evening 👍👍
Fascinated by both the 'apple chopper' (I am thinking also 'compost chopper') and the water powered apple press. Wish I could come and taste the cider afterwards!
I wish you come and taste it too!!👍👍
Really nice set up you have
Thanks my friend 👍
Nice! You got quite a bit out of them. That press did amazing.
I'm very pleased with the set up guys, only took forty years to convince myself that I deserved it!
Cheers to you both🍺😀👍
Very modern outfit there. A good amount of juice as well.
Cheers
Jane
Thanks Jane!
Self sufficiency in the process of "Scrump" sounds Ideal to me mate. I'm doing it all wrong, I need to retire and buy myself some of that kit instead of working to buy my booze :-) LOL! 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺 🍺
I think you got that right mate!
Looks like you got yourself the perfect retirement gift. Great save on the apples
Thanks, yes I'm very happy with the mill and press.
Thanks for watching.
Have a great evening PPG.👍🤗
Nicely done Woody, now you have had a test run, maybe a more in depth video on how it all works.
♻️Happy Gardening........🥕Terry King 🥕
absolutely Terry, I'll do a more in-depth video in the next pressing. Cheers mate.
Nice one bud 12.5ltr of juice can't be bad from what would of been wasted, the press and scratter did well. Didn't realise it was water pressure that did it, I thought you was dancing in the video but it's the wasps you was try to get. Yeah nice sound but not good if you want a pee.
Hi Steve, I was very happy to get that juice mate ( it's fermenting well, video to come). The bloody wasps were terrible nuisance 😠😠
Hydropress is really good, easy to use and effective.
Cheers mate 🍺👍
Concratulation with new apple press equipment. It seems to work well and you squeezed all the apples in no time.
I only have a manual press and a manual apple grinder, so it takes a lot of time. Looks like you've squeezed out a lot more juice than I manage with my manual apple press.
I think I have to invest in an apple grinder like that.
Is the apple press driven by water pressure?
I have tons of fall fruit, but haven't pressed anything so far. The apples have gone on the compost, I just have not had the time.
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
All the best my friend🍏🍎
Hi Benni, I can recommend both the mill and the press.
The hydropress works of mains water pressure ( 3 bar maximum) you can obtain different sizes, but the 20 litre works well for me.
I know what you mean about not having the time; before I retired my fruit would also go on the compost heap, so it's a very nice feeling to now be able to utilize it.
Take care and have a great evening my friend 👍❤️
Retired 😳.
@@BenniLkitchengarden
Yes, 40 years working full time is enough in my opinion.
A superb piece of kit mate, I assume the scratter works similar to a chipper????? Would like to see more how the hydro press works, a lot easier than screwing down a manual one 👍😀
Cheers mate: yes, the scratter or mill works like a chipper and is all stainless steel (so won't react to the acidic fruit juice).
The hydropress is an extremely good piece of kit and works off mains water pressure.
I'll be doing a further video on this so will enable a closer look.
Cheers mate 🍺👍👍
@@cumbrianhomestead I am also intrigued as to how the hydro press works.
whats the name of the type of press you're using? this was super interesting to watch. thank you.
Hello and thank you for your kind comments.
It's a "hydropress" - works off mains water pressure. You can find them on eBay.
Best wishes 👍
👌👍😍
I'm so jealous! I have for many years wanted to grow apples, but the only apple that can take our seasons is crabapple. Our winters are to short, and our summers are to long, hot and humid. There are a couple hybrids that will make small sour apples, not worth the space.
Oh that's a challenge!
I guess that I take it for granted that I can grow apples here very easily. I feel your pain.
I suppose on the other foot, there's things you can grow easily which I couldn't?
Thanks so much for stopping by 👍👍
They are nice kit. Jou will be discharging your bladder like that after drinking it ;)
Lol! I was waiting for that one :-)
@@cumbrianhomestead You walked right into it :) Remember the saying theirs always one. Well its about me.
Interesting video Woody. I’ve never seen this type of juicing done before. Great yield. Will the fermentation make it into a type of alcohol? 🍎👍🏻💚
Hi Laurie, yes 😀
It will become what I believe you guys call "hard cider". In the UK it's just known as Cider.
Wow that was great😍Enjoyed watching😍I will be seeing more of your videos 😍 Thanks for sharing and thanks for visiting me😍New subscriber:)
Thanks for your kind comments and support 👍👍
