I'd love to make cider when I have all the trees going down the line, I'm not real sure of the process for either kind.

You gotta have sweet cider to make hard cider. I'd like to learn how to make both someday. The little bit of reading/research I've done leads me to think a guy would have $1000 invested to get started making your own sweet cider.

I'd look around at renting a press the first time or two before buying and see how it goes?

I know somewhere in the Metro there's a place you can take your apples and have them pressed. Not really what I want to do though.

I met a lady at a Farmer's market who has a cider press (her husband was a former client of mine when I worked around the Little Falls area.)
Still thinking about the Pioneer Junior press. also have a friend who has a friend with a press, but these things seem like you are taking advantage of someone, unless you know them very well.
I have no idea where one could rent a press and crusher.

What we us is a steam juicer, not as efficient as a press would be but for somebody who would just wants to get their toes wet, its a great little system.

I had considered that, but the juicer seemed like a slow process that you would have to monitor for hours to get a gallon of juice. Am I correct? Have you made any hard cider?

Do you get apple cider or apple juice when using a steam juicer?

Do you get apple cider or apple juice when using a steam juicer? What's the difference? I never thought about that?

I had considered that, but the juicer seemed like a slow process that you would have to monitor for hours to get a gallon of juice. Am I correct? Have you made any hard cider? I bet I get a gallon every hr/ hour and a half if I remember correctly, once I get going and have all the apples cut up definitely not as fast as a press would be. The only difference between apple juice and apple cider is that apple juice is filtered: From mr. google Apple juice and apple cider are both fruit beverages made from apples, but there is a difference between the two. Fresh cider is raw apple juice that has not undergone a filtration process to remove coarse particles of pulp or sediment. It takes about one third of a bushel to make a gallon of cider.
