  1. Homemade bottle conditioned cider is something I wanted to do for a long time. And now we finally did. This is the journey from apple to cider. Without really knowing what we do. But in the end, it turned out quite well: saufwein.com/2026/05/from-appl #cider #homemade #cidermaking #bubbles #apples

  3. So, unless I'm doing something wrong (which, please, please, please God, tell me) it seems if you want to get a really good press of liquid out of your grapes (or whathaveyou). You really shouldn't fill up your press to the tippy top. In fact, it seems the emptier it is, the drier the leftovers once you're done pressing.

    So I've basically been squeezing ~1 gallonish of stuff.

    Which, ok fine.

    But my question is: WHY THE HECK ARE THE BASKETS SO TALL THEN?

  4. #TexturesTuesday

    The compacted block of #apples after being run through the cider presser. We punch the block out, into a wheelbarrow. It's then used as both compost & pig feed extras for local farms.

  9. The worst/hardest part (or the most difficult lesson for me to learn) of pressing fruit for making wine/cider/perry/etc is trying to squeeze the most possible liquid out of the fruit. Like the last hour of squeezing I probably get like 150ml out. It's absolutely not worth the time and effort, but my cheap/greedy ass can't seem to just let it go.

  10. Final apple pressing of the year yielded ~9 pints at 1.048 o.g. It really has been a good year for my apple trees, and it's also the first time my young pear trees have produced anything worth eating.

  11. Another pressing today yielded nearly 1 gallon, with a higher o.g. (1.048) than previous batches, which I assume means the apples were riper.

  12. This morning I filled my press to the brim and got ~12 pints of juice. Which is awkwardly split between two part filled demijohns. Getting a better "splodging" technique now. The key is to do small batches.

  13. we have 13 or 14 different varieties in the orchard. the early fruit are now becoming ripe (this heat is a wild card) so gotta go pick… all done by hand. also pressing today. and i’d like to solve our carbonation/canning workflow. #cider #cidermaking

  14. Another pressing this morning yielded just under a gallon of juice. And last week's two are fermenting well.

  15. Cider making has started two weeks early this year. I've just pressed 10% short of two gallons of juice at 1.044 o.g. Might crack open a bottle of the 2015 vintage later on to reward my hard work.

  16. Red currant wine, cider with cherries, pure cider.

    All spontaneous ferments, nothing added (except water and sugar in the wine, which is necessary).

  17. Det må være lov å si, Egil, at denne spontanfermenteringa har gått over enhver forventning!

    Ripsvin til venstre, sider med kirsebær til høyre. Vinen er søt, med en litt syrlig avslutning. Smaker omtrent som saft, og går ned farlig fort.. Sideren er knusktørr og syrlig, men har også massevis av kirsebærsmak.

    Gleder meg som en unge til disse har fått litt kullsyre og roet seg ned på flaske en måned eller to 😍

  18. Ikke rart man blir fysen på å lage mer sider når fjorårets forsøk ser ut og smaker som dette. Knusktørr og syrlig, med smaken av norske hageepler.

    Yum!

  19. CW: Alcohol

    That's another nearly 14 litres of cider bottled. Time to rack the next 25 litres, final 24 litres can wait.

    Sooooo many apples last year. Very few bottles left, better start drinking the first batch! Hopefully along the way I will learn to actually like cider...
