We started the same way but hand cranking gets old very very fast. We ended up getting a Speidel mill. 220V and it eats a bushel in about ten seconds. We enjoy watching you get started - we are a couple years ahead of you and still learning. Good luck! (Jeff in upstate NY)
Everyone has to start somewhere right :) we thought about the getting an electric mill and hydraulic press but we don’t quite have the apples for those yet!! Hopefully very soon! Thanks for watching - we love hearing from other folks in the industry
Coming from making mead, GoFerm is not a fermenting nutrient. It is meant to be used in your yeast rehydrant solution. Fernand O, Fernand K, DAP, yeast hulls (kind of) would be nutrients you would add. GoFerm has nutrients, but is not meant to be used as a fermentation nutrient.
Hi there! Yes you are correct, GoFerm is a yeast rehydration nutrient :) In smaller, one gallon batches, we like to add the GoFerm straight into the carboy so it doesn't clump up in the rehydration solution. Traditional fermentation nutrients are actually toxic to the yeast prior to the start of fermentation. Happy Cider Making
It's hard to believe I was that young and dumb, but I was.... get an electric motor and be done with it. You get what you pay for...cheap is just that, cheap.

Look forward to hearing how this batch comes out!
We are excited also!! The apples were very tannic - should turn our really nice and balanced. We will be sure to share the results :) cheers 🍻

Man, it’s great to see how far you’ve come since just last year. I can’t wait to see you guys fill those tanks up!
Hehe slow and steady!! One apple and one equipment upgrade at a time 😎
Slow and steady catches up real quick.
We found it cranks a lot easier if you quarter your apples before putting them in your chipper mill.
Great idea!!
I’ve been using a gas powered wood chipper. Works great.
Wow thats a really good idea. Is it hard to clean? Have you used it for anything other than apples/fruit?
So close to 1000 subs!!!
We can almost taste it 🤣

I wouldn’t say dumb, maybe young and motivated. We aren’t scared of a little manual labor. 💪🏻 💪🏻 Everyone starts somewhere :)
You will continue to press for 100 years.
If not us, definitely our kids :)
