What about making scrumpy? What we call cider in the UK is alcoholic I think you call it hard cider. It seems such a pity to turn them into vinegar. Add some wine yeast and ferment it. If the apples are not sweet enough you can add some sugar.
@@farmerdre1 Pity. Rules is rules. I think we can make Alcohol drink: wine, beer, scrumpy etc for our own consumption, but we cannot distill it without a licence. Micro breweries are very popular, but you still have to pay alcohol tax on it if you sell it, and there are probably all sorts of hygiene regulations.
You ever consider moving away from the cloth and rack system? A belt system is too large/expensive for your scale but I have heard 3x 160-250lb bladder presses can give you high production for lower cost and much easier labour. You fill one as the others are pressing and by the time you have started pressing the 3rd you return back to the first to empty the pommace and refill. You can use a recirculating system to save the water and just keep reusing between presses.
Awesome! So much equipment man. very cool.
Apple cider vinegar is great to higher the Ph of the body, however I like also simple cider sprinkle with a bit of alcohol in it.
During the vinegar process, we make all stages of alcohol
can you use any apple variety to make cider or vinegar?
💪🏼 Good video 🇺🇸
Thanks!
What type of grinder is that and how can I get one. That is the weak link in my setup.
It's an older one, don't know the brand exactly, we gave an old rack and cloth press
Wouldn’t you make more money if you made liquor?
Absolutely, we don't have out brewery license, we can't make any alcohol without it

Here in the states, you need a brewery license to make Alcohol, we don't have one and we just make Vinegar out of it
