I'm afraid I can't help you but I do wonder if Moley knows you are his arch-enemy. Or perhaps he has a split personality. :rofl:

 

Don't worry yet TK, you are right in my field!
You are looking to Sep/Nov before panic sets in.
Cider from apples is well worth the extra effort.

i dont wanna get greedy and make hundreds of gallons of cider then it taste like battery acid lol :sick:

 

If you've got the capacity for 100's of gallons you're very lucky!
The "battery acid" problem is easily sorted.

Check out this site http://www.cider.org.uk/frameset.htm for mixes of apples (both the 'West Country' and SE blends).

But (if they are not 'West Country' cider apples) it may be worth considering using the juice for apple wine to produce a much higher value product just for the cost of some sugar and no more effort.
