Jaffrey Cider Press

Posted by Justin Younker on August 16, 2010 0 Comments

The family and I had a succesful weekend of cider pressing. Every year we go over to my in-law's home and press apples for fresh cider. This year we used Honeycrisp apples that my father-in-law grows, as well as Red Delicious apples from Yakima and a few other varieties. We were pressing about 1 bushel of apples to yield a gallon or gallon and one-half. This is the first year I've really paid attention to yield per bushel. Does anyone else have any statistics on how many gallons of cider they yield per bushel or box of apples?
