We bought a property with several apple trees 2 years ago.After making apple crumble til the horses came home we used the last 5 plastic bags to make apple cider.We went out and bought a large 25l container from a local brewing store and worked out our juicer.
We made 25litres of the stuff but left it too long in the fermentation tub so it was awfully dry.Added a bit of sugar and lemonade and its nice.
This year we made another 20 litres of apple cider.
We are looking for a press as we find the juicer doesn't get a lot of the juice out as we were using a muslin cloth to squeeze the juice out of the pulp.
Any ideas of where to get a press from!

Brew shop in Porirua Not been open long,They should be able to help they sell all the mad millie cheese kits also and I noticed a cheese press is available. The Apple presses I've seen aren't really very strong.
Original Scrumpy cider should be very Dry and finish at around 8 to 9% ABV.Or 10001 sg.As you say you can always add sugar but never take it out.

If you use pectolase you won't need a press and the juicer will be fine.
