How to Make Cider Without a Press #homebrew #cider #cidermaking #homebrew #apples
H apple harvest season is here which means that CIDER SEASON is here! Wether you enjoy spiced cider, sweet cider, or hard cider the excitement is tangibly in the air. Being able to juice your own apples can take you love for cider to the next level, but how are you supposed to make cider without a press or a fancy juicer? This problem was solved for me while reading a beloved cider making book. It turns out that releasing the delicious apple juice can be done with a rather simple method. All you need is a grater, a mesh bag, and a container to catch your fresh, sweet, cider. I truly hope that this video helps you enjoy your very own homemade cider. The taste is sweet, and incredibly refreshing. Leave it as it is, spice it, or you can use this method to make hard cider from fresh apples. Enjoy!
My mission for this channel is to teach individuals fun and useful skills and to empower others to become more self sufficient and sustainable. I hope you enjoy!

Yeah 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@frankryan782 3 месяца назад

This is a step in the right direction but I believe using whole crushed apples without straining just fermentation of the lot

@SustainableDan 3 месяца назад

That sounds fun. The fruit cap could be HUGE!

@IronBrother11 11 месяцев назад

Awesome video dude! Gonna try this weekend

@SustainableDan 11 месяцев назад

It’s a good arm workout, but the sweet cider is so good!

@michelel1852 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the video. I’m going to make some out of my Fuji apples because I have enough applesauce and apple butter😊

@SustainableDan 9 месяцев назад

If you get some help with grating, it’s much easier and faster. Have fun!

@CideryFromScratch 10 месяцев назад

Ingenious!! However, we have plans of pressing around 1000 apples this fall so........our hands would start to hurt hehehehehe - Oh and guess what, we may have found a 10bbl brite tank here locally so we might be able to make some commercial batches sooner than we thought

@SustainableDan 10 месяцев назад

Woohooo!!! That’s awesome! You guys definitely need the press. You’ll have to show us the tank and how you picked one.

@SustainableDan 10 месяцев назад

I just looked up the tank. That’s so cool!

Love the channel! Came across it doing some google searching. I have some wild grapes growing and I was thinking of turning them into a wine. There aren't that many of them and I've never done homebrewing before so I was wondering if you'd have any tips for that

@SustainableDan 11 месяцев назад

So I’m also thinking about doing something similar. I would sanitize a few mason jars and juice them, and pour the juice in the jars and let them sit covered with a towel and rubber band until you see bubbles. Then you need to properly cover it. You can buy lids that work as airlocks for the jars. Then you need to keep it cool and let the yeast do it’s job. Oxygen can easily ruin a wild ferment so be careful. I’m doing this with apple cider right now.

@SustainableDan 11 месяцев назад

It can take much longer than a typical ferment as well.

@SustainableDan 11 месяцев назад

If you can, keeping a wild ferment under 60F is ideal.

@SustainableDan 11 месяцев назад

If it becomes vinegary, game over. You can’t fix it. Hopefully I’ll have a video about wild yeast soon.

@LMF1716 11 месяцев назад

@@SustainableDan Awesome, thanks for the tips! I'll be keeping an eye out for that video on wild yeast

@anshenlv6548 7 месяцев назад

Is it neccesary to wash before gratering ? (the natural yeast on the apples will be washed away)

@SustainableDan 7 месяцев назад

The natural yeast you want was originally on the flower blossom and now lives inside the apple. If you pick your own apples, you can probably skip the wash. I got mine from a farmers market and didn’t want to risk adding too much unwanted bacteria. That’s also why I don’t recommend using fallen apples.

@user-oh5hv5kk8y 4 месяца назад

What is the difference between Apple Juice and Non-Alcoholic Apple Cider? Do you even need a starter, just 2 days in the Oven after heating up for 1 min?

@SustainableDan 4 месяца назад

Depending on where you look, there isn’t much of a difference. Apple juice is usually filtered or made from concentrate. Sweet cider is fresh.

@SustainableDan 4 месяца назад

I’m not sure about using an oven.

@user-oh5hv5kk8y 4 месяца назад

Beg to differ, you can make your a own juice with a juicer. Where I live, they are used Juicers for $20 at the Flea Mkt and Apples are available all year round at same price. I have one juicer that leaves a little slurry vs straight Juice like a poor man's Vita-mix. Ideally, would want to take that maybe add something sweet, maybe even dollop of yogurt or a few stands of saurkraut, and some sugar like orange, tangerine, banana for regular yeast to feed on. Go 24 hours in croc pot, then bring it to 80F degrees in the oven by warming up for 1 min. Then dump in my pro-biotic capsules to make it a fermented product. Let it grow for 48 hours with oven off and oven door closed . Do you or any one else think that will work or not?@@SustainableDan
