I'm thinking about the high cost of the apple grinders and presses to make

cider.  Would it be possible, you think, to grind apples in a blender then a

grain or sausage mill (the hand crank kind) then use a cheese press to squeeze

the juice out?  Or is the scale just ridiculous? I'd like to try to build a

cheese press anyways, either using a large bolt and square nut or a car jack. 

Want to find out if it can do double duty.



I don't know if it's just PA or everywhere but you can't get unpasturized cider

anymore here.  :(

If you're up for the drive there's a little place called Delicious Orchards

in Colts Neck, NJ that always had unpasteurized cider when I still lived

there.  They do ship, but I don't see cider on the website as a shippable

item.  http://www.deliciousorchardsnj.com/  It couldn't hurt to call them...
