You could definately make a separate brew from the plums, or use the juice from that to enhance and change your cider flavour if you used it as a percentage of your juice in the cider brew... If you've got a plentiful harvest of plums available, I'd give both a try!

try freezing the apples before pressing this makes them soft and much easier to press when their defrosted

Can't remember if it was Machine mart or Clarks that had apple presses for under £100 I saw the other day....google aint helping, but if your after one keep an eye out in the daily tabloids.

Granda my family used to have orchards quite near you in Julianstown, think their still there but not being commerciallly used, might be an opportunity for scrumping
