50,000 apples is a heck of a lot of cider. I live about 2 miles from Applewood Farms. Applewood is the largest commercial grower in the United States. You think they would let anyone pick up their drops for cider? **** no. The do make a killer apple pie in the company kitchen though.

I really don't care for cider that's been frozen, so we only have it fresh...

I have apple tree's and get all the apples I want, but my fav is a good apple pie!

Not much choice here. What do I do with 20 gallons of fresh cider... Ain't gonna keep, have to freeze it. Didn't sit at all. Went from the mill to the jug to the freezer as fast as it was mashed.

Next year will be automated. Already bought the motor.

How do you keep birds from pecking holes in all the riper ones?

We often put the cider into large plastic pop bottles and freeze them. On a hot summer day a half thawed out cider bottle is to die for. :licking: :licking:

I like cider when it gets to effervescent. Very good then. Bob

I like cider when it gets an alcohol content

Gotta be careful with that. It can go from 'hard' to vinegar in a flash.

Keep up the good work.
No point wasting the apples.
