My wife asked, "how many bottles of Cider do we need to bottle?" My reply was, 365 times 2. Oh, she says, "that'll give each of us, one bottle, per day of the year." Well then, came my reply, "if you want to drink some we will need to double that." Everyday is Ciderday!
I can’t wait until you have a nice apple grove on the land. I’ll be jealous, but I can’t wait. Just remember to keep sharing these videos in 15 years or so.
Hi Kris, as a fairly new subscriber I am still catching up on your older videos and funnily enough I watched the cider making videos from last year and the year before just earlier today (and the cat flap installation video, too). Thank you for all you do, really appreciate you documenting your lifestyle, the content is enjoyable and helpful for me as well as many, because with everything that's going on, human beings will have to re-think their current way of living and back to nature, out of the big cities is the way to go. Much love to everyone reading this!
@Glenn 65 You nailed it! Although LA is booming right now. Still a huge demand for real estate in this god forsaken city. I think it's going to take a few more years before it falls apart here...
4 people have really sad lives putting a thumbs down .... how can anyone dislike what this man is doing? He was fed up of playing the systems game that sucks you of all your money and your freedom because you have to spend all your time earning that money, he had a vision of how he could live a better stress free life and carried it through.... if you dislike that then you are a complete muppet.

Hi Kris, great to watch growing and producing your own food. Two tips from a german chef ;-): If you build a lid for your apple destroyer, put a tall funnel on top for the apples, so all the bits and pieces don't fly out. For your press use a piece of cotton-cloth as screen. After use, just wash it and cook it so its clean and sterile for next year. Greetings from Germany
17:22 little tip for emptying bottles :) If you give the bottle a little swirl after tipping it over you'll get a nice little vortex which makes the liquid come out way faster. And it's beautiful to see :D
There's nothing wrong with this educational video.. it's perfect and God sent !!! How can you put your thumb down ? When there's nothing wrong here If you are putting your thumbs down because you are jealous of Him make it clear so that the world Will know.. about your sad life..
My dad used to make wines from various fruits, he filtered before bottling, they were cheap paper filters. Look em up on-line. Also make a lid with a funnel set in it for your slicer. All the best to ya 😁
I love this - we made rather similar apple grinders, and yes, they can work wonders. I used a large DC motor from an old treadmill to drive it, keeping the flywheel in place. The munching cylinder is much shorter in mine, maybe only a little over 5" long, but of a similar diameter. I put a hinged lid on mine, and only toss in a few apples at a time after the thing spins up. If I don't slap the lid shut it hits the apples hard enough to kick them right across the room LOL. It handles them as fast as I can feed them, taking only a minute or two to fill the 5 gallon press. I put the screws in a spiral pattern, split from RH pitch to LH pitch at the middle, so the material is automatically moved toward the center. I made a wooden frame screw press but borrowed the wooden slat cylinder from a commercially made Weston press, though I still use a filter bag with it, cut and stitched from old 100% cotton sheets.
I built one of these scatters this year using stainless screws. It was pretty good but we needed to cut all the apples in quarters as whole apples just danced around on the screw heads. I took a grinder to the heads of the screws and made them random square/oblong shapes,( ie they have sharp square edges) it is night and day and blasts through whole apples now. Great channel mate.
FYI if you tip the carboy fermentor with a piece of wood the yeast will settle out on one side. Then when it is time to syphon off carefully remove the wood and you can most of the liquid without the yeast sediment. Great channel by the way. Cheers!
I love this film of yours. Watched it a number of times now and this year I'll use the press without the muslin bag. I'm also drying a short length of hardwood to use in my own scratter - I'm fed up with drill-in-a-bucket method! It never scrats properly and takes forever doing the bits that weren't caught the first time. I'm envious of the way of life you two are living but I don't for one minute imagine it is as perfect as it looks - as in, a bloody lot of hard, hard, honest work. All the best to you and yours for the future.
If it gets cold enough this winter y'all should try to make some applejacks, a freeze-distilled apple brandy. Just leave a big bucket of cider out, covered of course, and pick out the ice in the morning. You do this several times until you've removed most of the water and you have an old traditional american spirit. It's a piece of cake to make and is really quite good for the holidays
Fresh apple juice and cider is the best. A few years ago my great great uncle invited his extended family for a big apple cider/juice event. Did the same as you except it was all in one machine(wood machine). You had to hand crank the apple grinder and the apple bits fells down to the wooden barrel. You grabbed the barrel, took it to the other side to press(with a crank as well). The juice fell to a wood funnel that lead to a vessel. The vessel was taken to a table where it was strained and placed in gallons for everyone to take home. One day I want to make the machine. I tell you all of this as inspiration on how to make your process possibly more efficient or easier. Well done!
SO NICE TO SEE DOT IN THIS/THE VIDS, YOUR A GREAT GUY KRIS, AND VERY LUCKY TO HAVE SOMEONE SO SPECIAL TO SHARE YOUR DREAMS/PASSIONS, GOD BLESS YOU BOTH, X
Congrats, Dot! I enjoy all vids from you and Kris. This one was special because it included the two of you. I have much respect for self-sufficient folks. So much creativity and hard work. Bless you both!
When I was child we had a similar, yet a bit bigger press. We always used old cotton sheet to cover the inside of the press. No plastic and no bits in the product at all :)
One of the things I always look forward to in your videos is the birds in the background. It's a glorious sound. Way cool set up you guys have got. Nice to have natural stuff from your property in the fridge and freezer.
Great video, I loved making our own cider on the small holding we used to rent on Isle of Anglesey. Unfortunately the landlord sold up and we couldn't afford to buy it, so ended up in a town house, hopefully one day we can get back to sustainable living once again.
That was a fun video, Kris. Now that I've exhausted all the videos in the playlists, I'm going through and finding loose ones like this. There's something about the way you carry yourself, and the sweetness of Dot, that make your videos so much fun and so enjoyable to watch. I'm so glad I found your channel, and I can't wait to see your adventures ahead. Cheers.
I would be happy to take some stuff from them and advertise for them. I do find there tools to be very good quality. I have had that drill for 6 years now and it has built multiple building and driving hundreds of 22m auger holes and thousands of fixings. Other competitor drills i have used have failed in a few months. dewalt if your listening i could do with a hand power planer and a multi tool. :)
@@KrisHarbour You need to write to them (DeWalt)!! Tell them about your channel and the exposure you offer. It might take some time but as long as you stay in touch with them you might be surprised how keen they are to work with you.
Another video I stumbled on - great to see two people making the best of all things natural and I would love to taste their product. It just goes to show what can be acheived with a little effort and not a chemical in sight. Fantastic is all I can say!.
I make my own hard cider with apple cider from a local farmer - family run apple press operation. I find a minimum 6 month to 9 month aging is needed, at which point it's top notch stuff!
I absolutely love watching your videos! I wish I had the means to live off grid!! I am sure there's really hard times but the good times I'm sure overpower the hard times!!
Hello from Washington State 🇺🇸👋🏻 I’m new to the Chanel so lots of videos to watch! First… Kris you are the nicest young man! You make your videos a pleasure to watch! Plus your accent I love to hear! This video of cider making was really interesting… it made me thirsty for juice and cider !! Thank you for great content in all your videos! I’m a 69yr old woman but I love watching you build!! Your amazing and a genius!! Your knowledge is endless and I really admire you for that! Halloween is approaching So if you have any spooky stories do tell!!👻☠️ Well there’s my first comment to you! Thank you again for video taping all you do! It’s very interesting! Bye for now Kathy🎃💀☠️👺👹
My favorite season of the year, and a very lovely video sharing many of the things that make it great! This year I have only a poor likeness of true cider and such, but this episode at least brought many good things to mind, thanks!
I used to brew beer, cider, and meed. People couldn't figure why my brews had more alcohol and a different flavor than other peoples brews. At the time I wouldn't divulge my "secret"; I used Champagne yeast :>
those flip top bottles leak excessive carbonation quite well, I've never had one go bang on me. I've got about 80 litres of recycled bottles, but the arse of cleaning them all means I rarely use them. Barrels and draught is great for thirsty slackers.
I use an old garden shredder to chop the apples and then an even older cheese press to get the juices out. First fermentation and then transfer to another barrel through a filter where I add some Fructose that gives it a secondary fermentation. Comes out nice and clear and sweet which is how I like the cider
I measured the depth of my big cider bottle and bought a cork that fit the top of the bottle. Then I drilled a hole in the middle of the cork and thread the siphon pipe through it to my desired depth and then secured it in the cork so now I can just place the cork on the bottle and siphon without worry. Love your vids just discovered them and I am going through them all.
Made my first batch of sloe gin and raspberry vodka last year same as you did here and it's amazing. Little tip I found because we had a mild autumn is you can put the sloes in your freezer for a night to simulate the first frost!
I live in a rural area in the Pacific Northwest, Washington state to be exact. On our little family farm we are brewing beer with the neighbors who we are good friends with. The word has gotten out now and we have a much larger group of people coming by to visit our little brewing operation. Brew it, and They will come...
If you made a topper in the same V shape but pointed up you could feed the apples faster without all the bits flying out. Maybe attached with a couple of draw bolts-what a great little machine! Love your content, you are living my dream life.
Totally enjoyed watching the video....informative....stayed focused on task.. some videos people think they're producing a movie........and talk too much about shit.... great job well done....
A great watch thanks, All your masher needs, as it does the job fine, is a better fitting lid, with a tube in the middle, and perhaps a little funnel, to put the apples in, apart from that, nice job!
Great to see. I have a homemade press using a bottle jack and can layer up 4 cheeses using net curtains and press a lot in one go. My next project is to modify an old bit of farm machinery to make a better scratter. Love the videos!
just the way he says "we're gonna be good and drunk my dear" ... so romantic, almost brought a tear to my eye.
