Turn your apple glut into juice, for sharing, cider, freezing etc. You'll be surprised just how delicious it is!
Our apple press comes complete with 'scratter' to break up apple chunks (or small apples) and filter bag (optional with apples, essential for softer fruit - after removing stones from stone fruit.
You'll need:
Worksurface with chopping board and knife; robust stands for both scratter and press (press weighs about 4 stone empty). The stand for the scratter will need a gap to let the pulp through - we strap it to a workmate.
Various bowls for collecting pulp and residue. We use washing up bowls for the apple and scratted apple, and garden buckets for the residue. It helps to have a stool, or a small plank to support the bowl under the scratter on the workmate legs - the higher it is, the more it collects. Jug for collecting juice. Bottles for pouring it into.
Hosepipe for washing the equipment - this is easiest outdoors!
A strong back and/or two people to lift the press, and suitable transport.
