The kids n me collected easey 6 carrier bags full of various apples from around and abouts ere and set to making the zoider.
I started by sterilising my daughter's old ikea toy box which is a perfect size for a fermentation vat. It was going on freecycle but I rescued it for this purpose
Then I washed the apples.
Ikea Toy Box
I stood for about 2 1/2 hrs feeding apples into out juicer. After about a ton of fruit pulp I ended up with about 20 pints of apple juice which was a somewhere between sweet to sharp but quite paletable which is probably a good sign. Our juicer is really good and the pulp is quite dry so hardly any juice was left. I may, in time invest in some time to make a carjack press.
The Juicing Set Up
As we had various varieties of apples including one red variety that had red flesh, hence the juice colour![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Red Juice
In the Vat
Anyways, I thought I would share it with you guys.
Time will tell and I will let you know how it tastes![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
