Thanks. Here at Costco a gallon of cider is $7 for the real stuff. I made 7 gallons or so which is about $50 worth of cider. Normally with two people we could make dozens of gallons in an hour or two with this setup.
I have a screw type press, a black mosquito net (worn over the head), found at Walmart Sporting goods dept, does an awesome job to catch the fines. Where did you source that nice aluminum funnel?
Thanks for the great demo video. How many presses do you get from the pillow case before having to change it out? I would think it would clog very quickly with such a tight mesh. Have you tried pressing fruit pulp ground up with typical grinders in this?
Just noticed. That looks like a 3/4 to 1/2 inch reducer used in plumbing. That is why you are not getting a good seal. You'll have to find an female hose to 3/4 adapter.
Yup, I am trying to find the right piece and then I'll add the link to the description. It'll be tricky. I have to remove the current piece first. I think I'll have to heat it up and pry it off.
