Lots of pictures to be put up of my new rig into cidermaking ive now got a 36L press and a garden shredder. Im going to be pressing 1 tonne of apples so possibly 200L :wha:

1000 kg should produce 500 ltrs of juice!

 

[Devonhomebrew]

you serious ive been told 1 tonne is roughly 150-200L

If you're scratting and pressing expect very good juice yields.

You might need a bigger bucket.

 

[evanvine]

you serious ive been told 1 tonne is roughly 150-200L

Very serious.
My average of the last 10 years!
2 kg/ltr is my norm.

Your juice is very brown, have you not been using SO2?

 

[tazuk]

OK Taz.
I spray my apples with 1% Sodium Metabisulphite before scratting, seems to work quite well.

I only use SO2 to prevent oxidation.
