apple cider it all started when my neighbor s apple tree lost a limb and he didn t know what to do with all those apples it didn t take long for me to say i ll take them over the past few weeks i have scrambled to get a grinder and a press put together and press some apple juice so far five gallons have been made i may turn this into a how to article let s start with a parts list shredder waste king l 8000 legend series 1 0 horsepower continuous feed garbage disposal i have witnessed this one run continuously for 20 30 min hasn t shut off yet i have heard some overheat plastic cookie container for hopper could use a bowl i guess old scrap wood and screws for table powerstrip for foot switch pvc pipe some comes with the disposal press wood for frame was laying around bottle jack i used a 6 ton from harbor freight 6 5 gallon food grade bucket 5 gal would work too maybe better i drilled a bunch of holes in it for the juice to come out 5 gallon food grade bucket a tin foil baking pan for under the bucket to catch the juice disc of sturdy wood cut 1 inch in diameter less than the bottom of the bucket pieces of wood to reinforce the disc lots of pressure a couple 5 gallon paint strainer bags something for the top of the bottle jack to press into a piece of hardwood plastic wrap to wrap the disc it didn t cost me much because i had most of the stuff only had to buy the disposal 80 sale on amazon and the bottle jack 16 the setup works pretty well here are the steps for a session drag stuff out of my garage and setup sanitize equipment i use iodophor sanitizer 32 oz it is biodegradable if you are going to pasteurize you don t have to worry about this step because you ll be killing any wild yeast and pathogens with the heat on the stove wash apples throw them in a big tub of water quarter apples with knife cutting board quartering helps the disposal deal with the apples the skin kinda acts like a slick shield and the disposal doesn t like to bite quarter helps this turn on disposal put apples in 2 quarters at a time use a dowel or short board to push appls into disposal safely apples come out the pvc into the bucket lined with paint strainer two large bowels of apple quarters i know very scientific provide almost two gallons of juice that s about the right amount for one pressing put bucket with holes on the tin foil baking pan on the press transfer pulp in the paint strainer bag from bucket to the bucket with holes fold the strainer back on itself place disc press head on the pulp outside the bag add the bottle jack start pressing by jacking up the er jack wait for the pulp to compress and the jack to loosen a bit repeat until it seems like you are reaching the point of diminishing returns be careful because the jack is under lots of pressure don t go too far fermenting a still cider no bubbly note very simple method there are tons of variations you can try get some english ale yeast english ale yeast safale s 04 1 packet per 5 gal find a container to ferment in a fermenter something with an airlock would be good sanitize it no fragrance oxyclean one step iodophor etc pour juice into fermenter close it up add air lock wait till the bubble stop should be less than a week perhaps a few days bottle be careful not to bottle before it is done you don t want to create bottle bombs drink posted by adam 4 comments 12 09 2014 get your orders in early bryan kolesar s beer lover s mid atlantic book is out find it amazon bryan kolesar friend and neighbor just put a book out my copy hasn t come yet but i wouldn t hesitate to

in the sidebar over there on the right for quick reference links shoot me an email at adam nonconfermist com on a separate note i added local honey to a batch of english style ale i brewed over the summer instead of boiling it and potentially losing some of the delicate honey flavors i added it to the fermenter and well it started to show signs of acetobacteria growing in it evidently this is a risk with unpasteurized honey and not boiling it with the wort in an effort to save it from turning to vinegar i kegged it immediately thus robbing it of its oxygen source and voila i had a nice slitghtly wild tasting brew on my hands not bad for an accident was a big hit at the family reunion too posted by adam 0 comments 10 07 2013 homegrown hops 2013 my hops are out there on the bine just drying up and blowing away they actually grew pretty well this year didn t fertilize them or really care for them all that much so nothing ventured nothing gained my father on the other hand took just about the same approach and well his went crazy he lives at a higher elevation and planted them in a well drained soil tons and tons of cascade hops from one three year old plant so we just chopped down a few bines and put them up in the garage attic to dry his success could be the soil and the climate could also be the maturity of the plant mine did well on the third year too we ll see next year i m not worried about oxidation not worried about anything really i figure i ll use them for dry hopping or late in the boil sometime the last few batches i did turned out great this way share your homegrown hop stories with us adam posted by adam 0 comments 5 27 2013 low risk brewing after the hiatus started cleaning out the brew garage i ll wait while you recover from the shock of that statement feeling better ok seriously it looks like brewing is on the agenda again every so many years i need a break but i have a few annual commitments i brew for and hopefully that will get me back in the swing of things i have plenty of ingredients i m thinking of something quick and easy with low alchohol but flavorful back to the old english ale yeast i think will have to dig into the freezer for those hops i bought last year or the ones from the year before the first brew after a hiatus always comes with some experimentation the hops may have faded a bit i might be a bit rusty and i want it now in the back of my head i have some ideas about upcoming brews once i get dialed in again elderberries my first sour beer saison lots of low abv stuff local honey some braggot in the distant future with local unfiltered unpasteurized cider my dad s hops my hops from last year choke cherries cheers posted by adam 0 comments 3 19 2013 hop resources updated no this is not hops just a a
