Cheers ! I really enjoyed that :-) I have a silly dream ... ... of moving out of my home town, Oslo (Norway), after my old mother passes away, and use my small inheritance to build a modest wood-shop to my own design (I'm a furniture maker by trade, traditional / historical solid-wood windows & doors pay the bills, and sometimes I even get to make a nice piece of furniture, too :-) in the Hardanger fjord on the western coast - where they grow fruit and apples, I love apples !

And why not wine from berries ? Wouldn't that be something ? Thanks for making this video !
The best thing I've seen on line about making cider. Too many people try to complicate what is basically a very straightforward process. You don't need loads of chemicals or even to know the strength of it really. As long as it tastes good and hits the spot, that's good enough for me.
Many thanks, nice and simple guide rather than a 40 odd minute one with a hundred different steps and conflicting advice. Especially like the total lack of any cleanliness/hygiene steps! Cheers!
Been making Cider off & on for 57 years. I too pick up apples off ground if they appear ok, but I keep those separate from picked fruit, rinse thoroughly to avoid chance of feces from animals passing through. Same using ladder for picking, always keep hands on center of rungs to avoid what you track on outside of ladder rungs. Red apples produce much more than green. For a smooth, sweet taste, add green pears. Only problem, it adds more sugar. Last, I was always inundated with large amounts of "Yellow Jackets" attracted to the feast.Did not see any insects on your vid. Good job.
I have a huge cooking apple tree and every year they all drop and rot, not this year! i'm going to follow your steps and wow the family with my apple cider! Thanks
We followed your instructions last year to make our own cider for the first time….it worked perfectly! Best cider we’d ever tasted!! About to make some more this year…thank you for the video, very useful 😊
Since this summer I’ve been keeping an eye on some beautiful wild apple trees that grow by the roadside near our home in Massachusetts. Just harvested a boatload of them yesterday and will process them tomorrow! Thank you for making this video and inspiring the confidence to try this out for the first time! Nature and pollinators are amazing.
@@davegoulson6831 the batch just finished yesterday, and it tasted really interesting! In a good way. Nothing like store bought. Kind of like a lambic beer. It’s possible that the cider wasn’t sweet because it was slightly over-fermented? Or maybe the wild yeast gave it the taste? Also, the sugar content of the wild apples was probably lower than a proper cider apple. Definitely worth a repeat next year.
@@beccal7950 FWIW the "lambic" sour taste could be from active Lactobacillus cultures consuming sugar and creating Lactic Acid. Additionally there could be wild yeast contributing to the off flavors. This method would be prone to either.
Many thanks for this - we’ve bought a crusher and press for collective use in the village - trial run with some of our own apples tomorrow. Cheers for the useful advice!
You all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly lost the account password. I love any help you can give me
@Zayn Niko I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
thank you. here's the therapy i need after coming across another video of someone pressure-cooking 5 apples, peeled oranges, and lemon slices in a vat of water for 3 hours.
7:42 No pun intended 🤣. Great video. Thanks so much for sharing. I have just bought a small farm in Alberta, Canada and discovered some very nice apple trees, as well as lots of raspberries bushes, Saskatoon berry bushes and choke cherry trees. So I am planning to make a lot of cider this fall.
Fantastic. Well presented and it filled in some gaps in my knowledge (add yeast for better success rate). The juice is, as you say, so much better than what you get in the shop.
MR G WELL WELL LET ME TELL YOU,, YOU REALLY CONVINCED ME ABOUT THIS PRODUCT,, CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS A LOT ,, THAT WAS. NICE FROM AUSTRALIA WITH LOVE ,TO YOU ALL,,
Thats how its done. Great job. Yeast dies somewhere 60 C, or something like that. So if you want to make your cider sweet and spracling you need to add sugar at the end (there's special sugars for this for those who want to make everything extra complicated). Then let the cider brew for a few more days to create the carbons, and then kill the yeast, for example by heating, to disarm the bombs :) (use indicatior botle, so you actually heat the cider in your botles to that 60 and not just the botles out sides. Indicator botle is identical botle filled with water and has no cap so you can actually measure the temp of the liquid inside it.)
a very credible vid thumbs up from me well done and I bet that the cider tastes amazing very informative for those who want to listen and learn how to make their own amazing cider from there gardens . JUST A WARNING you will get very drunk on this home brew
This a brilliant video Dave with knowledge that has been built over years of practice and hard ship id imagine. Could you please tell me where did you get your fruit press and your fruit mincer?
Most apples have a natual yeast or yeast even floats in the air. I let mine turn into cider vinergar which I love. I use an old waste disposal unit to break up the apples. Note: take your time over pressing . If Dave had left the press when it got hard and then come back 1/2 hour later he would find it got easier. I leave my last pressing overnight. There is no rush because the crushed apples actually improve if left for the few days when one is pressing.
You know the truth. Adding yeast to raw fruit is no benefit as it will not be able to compete against the natural occurring yeasts in the region. Only necessary if you cooked your fruit or used poison cambden tablets to kill the natural regional yeasts first. Smart you are.
I bee a cider maker!! Well done you! I used to make elder flower 'champagne', until a plastic bottle exploded! Looking at the video I expect it was carbon dioxide, but that was beautiful when done correctly. I expect yours tastes beautiful. Cheers! George
The bottle exploded because it hadn't fully fermented before you bottled it. A cheap hydrometer will tell you if fermentation is done. If you want the drink to have a little sparkle then you add a amount of sugar - qtr teasoon max - to each bottle before you seal them, then leave for at least a week.
Great vid. cheers. Essentially it's processed and enjoyed like wine. Completely uncarbonated. That'll take some getting used to if you're a shop sold cider drinker. Guessing you could bottle it adding the sugar to fizz it up!?
Thanks for this great video, we just got a 23l vat going about 10 days ago after watching your vid, but just with the natural yeast... It starting fermenting great in just 2 days and has been bubbling away, foaming up great and smelling of apples .. but 2 days ago its all went cloudy, foam gone and smells a little salpher-y now, still bubbling constantly in the airlock .... is this a normal part of the process, or should be worried... keep finding conflicted info, or situations that don't quite match ours online, so thought we'd ask, as your vid was so clear and simple ... we haven't racked it off or stirred to air it, which I'm wondering if we should by some of info coming across??? Your experience/opinion would be much appreciated.
Just watched this contemplating trying out the press I've had sitting in the shed for a few years with never the time to use it until now. It's late August and the apples are almost ready...Thanks for the motivation.
@@smithy1578 I now have 5 demijohns quietly fermenting in the cellar! A mix of apples from the garden and some unidentified but promising looking variety from a hole on my golf course. I'm thinking the next step will be to combine them in one large 25 litre container after the fermentation stops before adding some more sugar and bottling. My press is small but if I completely fill it with pulp I get enough juice to fill one demijohn. The biggest issue was crushing the apples, I used a fence post and a large plastic bucket. If this works next year I'm going to invest in a crusher.
Failed to mention, i fill new plastic jugs just below neck, freeze without mess. I have Cider in freezer for 5 years, thaw a gallon, keep refrigerated. This remains apple juice as no fermentation occurs.
Hi Dave. Great video. Very informative. I’m making some cider now and using you way of doing it. Very simple. Quick question though, when chopping and adding your apples do you not bother checking for bugs? I’ve got windfalls and found plenty of bugs in mine so threw those out.
good grief you don’t chop apples ! you build a press powerful enough to crush them. But seriously, on this scale you probably do need to chop them, but life is not long enough to carefully examine each piece of apple !
depends on the Tanin of the apple, some single verities need more yeast. proper Cider varieties like, Red Streak, Kingston Black ( difficult variety, but better results) is key, blended varieties do the job for you, if not available, after the first fermentation, bottle, and add 1/4 teaspoon of caster sugar, to add a slight carbonation, after 4 weeks.
What Alcohol percentage can you expect your home produce to be? i know home made can be quite strong. My nan used to tell me stories of when she would help her dad in the field. she took 2 or 3 mouthfuls of her dads homemade and would be almost out cold.
The cleanest and only organic apples l have seen on the internet. I like the fact you found a green apple instead of those nasty sweet Macintosh apples. My parents had one tree that produced perfect green apples for everything. I believe it was called "Orchard" apples. The best! Yours sound and look nice and green and crunchie. ❤ great video and more sanitary than others.
Use variety of Red Delicious, Jonathans. Melrose, etc. using all red apples far out produces green apples & taste is not affected. Do not use sour/rotten fruit & rinse heavily with clear cold water. btw you want a bare minimum of stems/leaves as this does alter quality.
Love your style and the sense of humour. There's not quite as much emphasis on sterilisation or the use of sulphite to kill unwanted yeast activity etc. as you usually see in such videos! I guess that dependent on your location, its possible to get away with a less "fussy" approach. I am about to move into a house with 4 established 100 year old Bramley trees that still crop heavily and I intend to take up cider making. Your video is therefore exactly what I was looking for. The books suggest that a predominantly cooking apple based brew would benefit from some tannin to give it more body and from some carbonate to tone down the acid a bit. I'm guessing that you are going to tell me that messing around like that is fine for other people, but that you like what you make from what's already in the garden?
What a life you have i wish i have money to get house om the cointryside with chicken and little animals with farm to grow some veg n fruit lovly life and make cider for the year
Great video Dave. Cheers. Do I understand correctly you don't pasteurise your apple juice? You just dump it fresh from the press without any processing into the fermentation vessel?
Hahahaha... I make cider and I'm getting ready for this years pressing...just thought I'd watch a few vids as I do most years to get me in the mood. Get to the end and saw the book cover...hadn't made the connection until then. Really enjoyed the book a few years ago..thanks. Can we have one on wasps please?

The old timers didn’t even rinse them and they lived well into their 90s

Excellent. I reckon there's nothing quite like an apple fed worm that gets pressed into the juice.
Thanks mate. Cheers 🍻
I’m about to buy a masher/grinder and a press. What size press would you recommend, & what is the name of the yeast you use?
Just wondered why you dont line the press with a muslin cloth or run the juice through a sieve before putting into the fermenting buckets
It just takes more time, and anyway the bits settle out during fermentation.

Quick newbie question... Was this cider carbonated? Or do you have to add sugar for that?
