  1. Unfortunately I wasn't able to start pressing today, we did get a lot of other stuff done however. Anyways here's about half of what I've got together so far, probably about fifty gallons worth. I've got to pop up to Devon tomorrow to do a mole job, then pick up a dozen more cider apple trees. Although it's forecast windy I might still be able to get this lot sorted.
  2. Now that's actually funny as fook! I've never understood people wasting their time individually pricking the berries when all you have to do is freeze them for a few days then thaw and bung in with the fruit.
  3. Any samples? Cheers, D. Your an ale drinker!:-) But you can try a bottle, lol
  4. Unfortunately you lads are too far away for it to be financially viable. It would definitely be possible in Cornwall and parts of Devon.
  5. I will try and get some pictures done on the day.
  6. Well they are seven hundred delivered, if you think a pint of cider in the pub is a minimum of three quid, you only need to produce two hundred pints and your already in to making money . When I hired one of these last year I processed about a quarter of a ton of apples in about two hours. By the weekend I will have about the same amount of apples, this should give me around 7-800 pints,ish. We are going to start bagging in 20ltr boxes this year, it will speed up things incredibly, it's also the way the pubs and clubs prefer to buy it.
  7. Here's the beast! She arrived this afternoon. Starts paying me back for her outlay this weekend.
  8. That's why you'll never get sick, no fecker with their filthy germs will come round your house! Perfect.
  9. Nice one flattop, crack on and use this thread unless someone wants to start a new one. Having had one of the vigo spiral presses I think your a legend to have got nine gallons done with it.
  10. I thought this thread was a wind up, but you really are talking about doing qualifications not to catch moles but know how long a male moles dick is etc! I'm truly gobsmacked.
  11. Absolute piece of pish to grow! We even bring back bulbs left over from cooking while in France and grow them. You should do well.
  12. Thanks flattop! I have invested quite a lot of money planting three and a half acres with quality trees with a view to it bringing in a few quid when I retire. I've planted several pear trees too but they are desert pears like the ones you've just managed to acquire. Lovely flavour but will turn slimy when pulped so difficult to extract the juice.
  13. I decided I couldn't faff around any longer. A lot of apples here now which I'm hoping to press next week, so I've bit the bullet and bought the spiedel apple mill from vigo, it's expensive but after using one last year I knew it was the one.
  14. Here's the last small one of the liquid gold to be bottled before we box the 220 ltr barrel.
  15. We've been looking in to regs regarding selling at the gate and how much you can sell before customs and excise become involved, it will be another four years before were into industrial production. It is a long term plan.
  16. Well I decided I'm not going to find exactly what I'm looking for so for this year I'm going to stick with modern and extremely efficient, so I've bought the big spiedel jobby from vigo. A lot of money but easily recouped when you put it against the value of the cider. We started bottling last year's today, only forty five bottles (430 ish) to go.
  17. Evening all, Just wondering if anyone has ever seen, knows of plans for a "good" manual apple crusher? Last few years I've used one of the German electric spiedel jobbies which are awesome, but they rely on electric. I want to be old school and produce my pumice manually. Tried the over priced vigo crap that gives you about 30% return and a few other crushers but I need a real productive one. So anyone got any ideas?
  18. Ordinary outside spiders good! False black widows I'm finding in several of my boxes in pre school and nursery classes this week, not so good.
  19. Nice one! Not seen hoops in action for ages.
  20. I've been trapping for a living about18 years, caught thousands of moles, two weeks ago caught my first pure albino. Others have only been catching moles five minutes and had one.
  21. I usually carry marker paint in varying colours on the van.
