Making Cider in Speidel Water Press

This video is a comprehensive step-by-step guide, illustrating the process of extracting the juice, or “must” from apples or other fruit using the German-made, Speidel Water Press.
We also demonstrate how to use the electric Apple grinder from Pleasant Hill Grain.
The apples were primarily fresh eating varieties from our orchards at Clearwater River Farm, however we are planting cider varieties and hope to grow our own apples to eventually make our own fermented ciders on site.

That is wonderful! A friend has an old hand crank grinder and press, we would process 1-2000 pounds of Gem County apples a year. Hope to do it again this fall.

How long time it takes to press apples with hydropress? Nice video 👍

[@xstevee89x]

Thank you for your video! I'm curious what kind of water pressure you have at your farm. We have a well with a small water pump and pressurized system. don't want to buy this unless I have some understanding of what kind of pressure is required. Thanks!

Use the air compressor.

Hi, what are the specs of this press?... Thanks for the video ✌🏼

[@kansaIainen]

As a lonely man I would add a couple of strong belts to the bottom end of the cloth to avoid messing with it at the end. If you leave the air inside the bladder, the compressed air would keep on pressing the juice even if you close the bottom water vent and take off the hose, if you have several juice presses. And last, thank you for the video, and next time, keep the camera horizontally.

Yes, air and water will exert same pressure on the pulp/mash but the air is much more springy so will keep the pressure high while juice is pressed out. No need to let it out.

Hey. How big is your press and could you tell me the size of the basket?

[@prirodni_sokovi_pirusti]

Its 90 liters.

Wrong ALWAYS fill the press to the top the way you did it the bladder will over expand in the empty space and blow up you are in for an expensive lesson i
