Pressing Day

Pressing Day 



Fresh juice from Golden Russets, Esopus Spitzenberg, Belle de Boskoop, Winter Banana and Hudson's Golden Gem.

Immediately after pressing, the juice was golder in color and definitely not as clear.  We added Campden tablets, (sodium metabisulfite) to kill the natural yeast and it wasn't long before you could see the sediments falling to the bottom.  The next day, we had this lovely golden clear cider.  You can see a faint line where the juice looks clearer on top.

Tomorrow, we'll add the yeast & sugar.
