[@candiwalkowski7480]

My 9th grade science teacher would rent for a day every fall a huge cider press and set it up in the parking lot. In each of his classes the students would bring a bag of apples each, and every student would be sent home with a gallon jug of cider. Best cider I ever had, and a happy fall memory.

[@laprietayelguero]

We were in 9th grade. Most of us drank it right away, though one boy gave his gallon to his grandpa and he fermented it.

Reminds me of the making of the apple juice for cider at my grandparent's farm in the south of France when I was a kid during the holidays... Amazing times. The process was pretty much the same except the "crusher" and pressing device were much bigger, you would basically fill it two to three times and have enough juice to give to dozens of people and drink all year. Of course, before pressing the apples, we had to go help pick them which was hard work, but worth it. Getting it poured straight from the press into your glass was a good feeling if you managed not to swallow a bee with it ! I read the other day that on average, an apple you buy in a supermarket in the US is 3 month old. They spray them with a toxic wax some people are actually allergic to to the point that it can kill them, so you know it's good stuff. Once you tasted an apple that never even saw a man made chemical, you can't go back. That's the problem of that apple juice, you abused it so much you ended up with explosive diarrhoea...

[@katzcradul]

Your cider press turned out amazing. So beautiful, as is your companion table. I was blessed to be able to harvest all the Johnathan apples off a neighbor's tree. We picked over 24 bushels of organic apples. We made apple sauce, apple butter, apple leather and dehydrated apples. There were only about 5 apples out of all of those that I would have considered perfect. I love a little worm hole...it means the apple is safe for me to eat!

[@mrbluenun]

Hi, And thanks for the interesting cider video. You do realise that when the apple press screw gets too hard to move down by a person, the four posts at the top can have a length of wood laid across and you will get at least another quart out of the mash? I used to make wine and never had a grinder but had the same press as yours passed on from my uncle and you will get so much more juice out using a 4" x 4" or similar.

Hi, I love the video we had a cider press when I was growing up on my dad`s farm in Somerset England. Is the heavy plat with the teeth on (at 5.17) the right way up ? I wondered if it might grind the apples easier with the teeth at the bottom.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Wow, I bet that apple cider tastes really good, nothing you buy at a store will taste that good! We used to do this at my great grama's house, and us kids were tasked with taking the leaves and stems off the apples, boy we would get in trouble if we missed the leaves! Great memories, great video!

[@justgonnastay]

LOL! I am with you on the "horrible Red Delicious!" It's the iconic symbol for an apple, the only apple I knew growing up, and it's perhaps one of the worst, most mealy apples there is. In my 20s I worked at a cider mill in Michigan where we primarily used Jonagold apples, looking just like these, and I discovered what a good apple tastes like.

[@cjdavidson09]

Really awesome video. I have a couple questions though. Did you make the entire press pre assembled or did you buy the press and grinder and build the stand? Have you determined the ratio of apples to cider?

[@fixman88]

I know what you mean about apples when you were young; I discovered the same thing about tomatoes. I had hated them pretty much my whole life and more recently I discovered why. They had been bred and modified to look good and survive shipping but taste was considered unimportant; I had no idea what a 'good' tomato actually tasted like. Last week at the supermarket I picked up one of the 'perfect-looking' ones and squeezed it with about 5 pounds of force; it didn't even distort. I told my friend who was with me that I could probably have dropped it on the concrete floor and it probably would have bounced. Nice pistol and holster, by the way...

[@walterbeech9690]

Something I want to add here, I grew up on a farm several miles away from anyone on a treeless prarrie. We had a variety of apple trees and never in my life did I see a worm so we never sprayed. When neighbors came and started planting cedar trees so came the worms. After talking to experts is seems that is common so if you are in a very rural place and have no cedars you may have wormless apples with out spraying. Those large pretty apples come from careful thinning and tree pruning and not spray, however they are not shiney without being polished like those at town. We all can eat healthy and I encourage everyone to try to grow something. Good vid Wranglerstar!

[@ProfKSE]

Spotless commercially grown apples are only free from insect damage because of spraying insecticides. Yes, you can get a few bug free apples without spraying, but not a crop. I grow apples. I know what they look like without spraying. And no, I don't have cedar trees. But cedar trees don't give insect damage but harbor Cedar Apple Rust, a virus.

[@walterbeech9690]

Prof.Kent We had a half dozen different kinds of apple trees and never, EVER, in all my years of growing up did I or anyone else ever see a worm of any kind. Every county extension agent we ever talked to said cedar trees are every apple growers nightmare and we never had one on the farm or within miles of us.

[@ProfKSE]

Walter Beech Walter. Read what I wrote --again--carefully. The disease Cedar Apple Rust (CAR) is the bane of apple trees. The life cycle of CAR, a virus not an insect, requires cedar trees. Worms have nothing to do with cedar trees. "Worms" are the larva of moths. Most apples infected by larva fall from the tree before they get ripe. Most of the rest show signs of larvae damage; imperfections in the skin, lopsided apples, etc. Larva often penetrate to the core to eat on the immature seeds. Furthermore, "worms" are not the only predator of apples. Chafers, mites, aphids, and multiple bacterial and viral attacks produce blemished apples --as well as damage to the tree itself. Mature, healthy, isolated orchards sometimes are somewhat protected from heavy damage by insects and disease but that is an exception, not the rule. Isolation and healthy soil is usually the key. If you never saw a worm, you probably didn't have cottling moth pressure in your area. But most lava are much smaller. Protection from insect damage does not come from thinning and pruning. He who does not seek rarely finds. I am glad you had such a happy childhood orchard experience. Seriously.

[@walterbeech9690]

I am just telling you what every K-State Extension agent ever told us in the 20 years we raised apples. We lived in Western Kansas, we had less than16 inches of anual rainfall and no tree grew that was not watered. Never did we spray anything and horse manure was almost the only fertilizer used. Our apples may not have been as big as some but flavor was wonderful and they were always worm free. We had a heck of a peach orchard also but most years the frost got them. Today I think there is only one or two large orchards left in Western Kansas but in the day we raised a lot of good fruit.

[@ProfKSE]

Walter Beech Wow, only 16" of rainfall? That's pretty arid. No wonder you didn't have many worms. (We get 40+ inches here in Michigan.) Also, western Kansas --really open country I bet so you wouldn't get much insect or disease pressure.

[@petyyras1]

my granparents have been making this like all their lifes, my mom an i went every year as long as i can remember, a friend of mine constructed this awesome rig, you start of by frinding the apples, he has a large electric grinder, it makes quick work of 3 or 4 large bags of apples . the apples are ground very finely, everything goes in a large bin with small wheels and then he has a big metal box for the mash and he built a hidrolic press from an old tractor, the mash comes out fairly dry. after that we take it home and spread it in the garden. so like if you dedicate half a day, you can get apple juice for like the entire winter

Hey Cory, Been enjoying you Apple Press restore. I was talking to my Mom (she is currently 21 with 66.75 years experience living in the same house in NYC (Queens) that I grew up in more than 60 years ago this past July) is from the old country (Germany/Poland 1930's). She and her father (she was the oldest child in the family and the kids that came after were her half sisters & brothers, her mom died when she was 5 or 6 yrs old) used to press apples, pears or whatever kind of fruit they could find to press. She said that they used to do a two step pressing and that they would take the crushed mash from the first press her father would tighten up the shield (that movable curved metal plate in front of the blades) so to crush the mash finer and run it through again and press it a second time. then they would mix the two presses together and they would get a lot more cider out maybe 30-40% more compared to what came out of the first pressing. I guess the times were hard and you did what you needed to do extend what you have. I bet that cider tasted great too. we had a peach tree my mom planted from a seed the summer we first move there. at its peak we would get 550-600# of peaches. Some were the size of grapefruits. Peace to you and yours

Naah the press leaks. That hydraulic oil even a drop or two could ruin a whole press. It the reason they still make the screw press and it is still so widely in use. Seen lot of presses made with hydraulics and they are not easy to use either.

Its simply apple juice you gotta ferment it to get cider, unless its an american way to call apple juice like that then sorry

[@wranglerstar]

Elmantukas In America pure pressed juice is cider.

[@Elmantukas]

+The Expert well we used to press home grown apples, and get delicious apple juice, not something you would get in a shop, well at least here in lithuania thats what we call it, and cider for us is an alcoholic drink, its really interesting to find out how other cultures differ with language translations. For you cider is juice, for us its alcohol, interesting.

[@Elmantukas]

+The Expert thank you for explaining it sir! :) we do indeed learn something new everyday. Appreciate you time explaining it.

[@bcrusher1979]

+The Expert You said it best.

[@chadhenry6887]

Watching those apples go into the pulverizer is mesmerizing :)

[@chrishanmer2411]

The rivets that held the slats on the barrels were somewhat important. Traditionally, the barrel was lined with a cheese cloth type bag to hold and strain the mash from the juice while the mash was pressed. The rivets held very well without loosening up and didn't tear the bag. The mash was controlled and easy to handle. It did take a little effort to punch the bag out of the barrel after pressing.

I just noticed his gun

[@hamsterboi5782]

swerving money cool u wanna cookie?

[@KannaWorks]

yes make it chocolate with a side of milk

[@milker-4943]

I wonder how many SJWs got triggered by the open carry

[@jackwody7774]

I thought all SJWs open carry

[@MegaMackproductions]

, In the fall here in New england we love pressing cider and we make little cider donuts coated in sugar and served hot. If you ever come here in the fall, many Orchards will offer offer these and they, as well as the beautiful fall scenery, are well worth the trip.

[@clydejenne4055]

The pins that rise from the screw are so you can take a handle crossways and apply more pressure and therefore more juice.

[@williamriddell2907]

Why the gun .???

[@wranglerstar]

I don't understand your question?

[@CbarMiiXaaS]

wranglerstar He's asking why you have a gun...

[@Zoroaster4]

He carry's it daily an has it in his video to demonstrate that people who open/conceal carry arnt idiots that shoot people

[@CbarMiiXaaS]

jacob brunberg It's an odd concept for foreigners to see normal people with guns is all.

[@Zoroaster4]

Cillian Scott I understand this now after reading all the anti gun comments and I think we could take this as a lesson from the high amount of gun control in Europe and what happens when guns arnt present in a socioty

[@karenwebb2740]

Hey, saw a sticker on the apple!!!!

[@shenibala1626]

me too

[@themadmailler]

what kind of paint did you use on the metal press barrel parts? i haven't been having any luck finding food safe paint.

I love that you're wearing your gun while you press apples. 2A all the way!

why are people complaining about the gun? bunch of babies in this country now. nothing weird/offensive about having a gun.

[@adam-uk9wp]

***** do you even know anything about americas history? if our men didn't have guns then this country would still be a british colony.

[@adam-uk9wp]

[@jimflynn7551]

FBI data more weapons less crime, less weapons more crime. such as Australia when the government took the guns crime wen up. then the government let the guys get guns again. I think the government should have paided for there mistake.

[@xxxcelol]

lmao. You realise since 1994 we have 75% reduction related deaths, and 50% reduction in all crimes involving death? We have the Australian Beureu of Statistics, go check it out.

[@tgchism]

Nice video! My wife and I just returned from New England where we tried some fresh pressed apple cider! WOW WOW! We loved it!

[@BinManSays87]

I love this time of year because you can pinch apples off the trees as you ride your bike past for a cheeky snack

[@kemptonjones]

Why is it necessary to wear a handgun while pressing apple cider?

[@PeterTMT]

He lives on a large homestead and prefers to be armed 24/7. One example of when he used his firearm is defending his two dogs from a coyote who initiated a fight. If you watch his videos hes obviously not interested in starting confrontations. He lives on a fairly secluded property and the chances of having an issue with a person is nill. A chance of an issue with an animal where a gun is necessary is significantly higher.

[@evolvedaustin4230]

For safety!

[@buckeye5704]

Why is it necessary to have airbags and seat belts in your car? Neither one of which means you WANT to crash, but you'll be glad to have them if they're needed. Its called being prepared.

[@kemptonjones]

[@azide_rdx7937]

Does

[@MrStevenKPuckett]

This video is about pressing apple cider. Why so much focus on the gun, no one is questioning the saw in the background wondering why is there a saw in a video about pressing apples. Some people just carry guns. Let's talk about all the awesome stuff he does himself or with his family and friends, then goes through the trouble documenting and editing the videos to share with us. I personally love all his videos and other KZbin videos he suggest watching, especially Paul Sellers. Anyone interested in some of the best wood working videos to watch should check him out.

[@SVT4LYF]

I forgot the second question lol, when I remember what it was I will ask. Thanks so much for your inspiration as I feel I am int the boots you once where in yourself, and it is amazing what you have done!! I Love you pride and attention to detail in your work as well! It is a dying trait, so it brings me much hope :) Thank you so much for your videos, I know it must be a lot of work, you are a true inspiration!

[@deanblack1235]

I have guns, I like guns, I shoot guns, I want to buy more guns. I hate it when people wear their guns around. It seems smarmy and elitist, like when people drive a Prius and feel superior because of it.

[@hotrodryan15]

Cody isn't concerned with what his protection "seems like" too you.

[@deanblack1235]

Hotrodryan15 Good for him. He still comes across as a douche when he wears a pistol to make apple juice. It's not like he's in the middle of Mosul wearing an American flag shirt baking an apple pie to spite ISIS. Just my opinion...

[@deanblack1235]

chemistrycounts I see you went down the comments page, adding your erudite comments to each one. Each comment consists of (a) you're ignorant, (b) he lives in the mountains and (c) animals are a real danger where he lives. (a) I am not ignorant. Ad hominem attacks weaken your position. (b) I grew up surrounded by the Colorado mountains. Coyotes, mountain lions, black bears - saw them all. Never once felt the need to shoot one, but if I did it wouldn't have been with a pistol. (c) All wild animals are much more scared of us than we are of them and will mostly run away if you even make an attempt to make your presence known. If you want to say the animals are a danger to livestock or something, then again I would question his choice of weapon being a pistol. If a wild animal is attacking his sheep or something, the last thing he wants is to have to run to within 25 yards before he can take a shot without fear of hitting his own livestock (don't even try to pretend a running man with adrenaline can accurately shoot a pistol further than that). All in all, the pistol on the hip while making apple juice in a barn with no threats around (let's be real) just distracts from the point of the video. You could make the same argument if he wore nothing but underwear in the video. "Oh, he's in his homestead and it's hot out so he can do what he wants and you're ignorant for thinking you should have any say about what he wears." Yeah, but it's distracting and pointless.

[@hotrodryan15]

Dean Black He must have been out and around that day and didn't want to take the time to remove it. Let us stop picking apart this mans life and let it be.

[@mountnman3609]

Dean Black You grew up in Colorado???Gee...then you know that Colorado is a open carry as well as concealed carry state, with the exception of Denver not allowing open carry.That means there are an AWFUL lot of people carrying in Colorado.Only a douche would comment about somebody openly carrying on his own land.What would be the purpose of conceal carrying???To prevent candy @$$e$ from getting all nervous about the sight of a gun?Oooo a gun in plain sight...how smarmy...The only thing smarmy and elitist is you and your comments.

[@Folsomdsf2]

I'm very disappointed in you, have you learned yet that 'organic' doesn't mean pesticide free? Organic farms use pesticides(usually far more deadly and toxic than modern chemicals btw).

[@CasMullac]

It depends I suppose. I'm not sure what it's like in the states but here in the UK you can't call something organic unless it is and has been certified by a governing body to be organic. To do otherwise would get you in all sorts of trouble, fines, law suits ect.

[@magnetizen]

Its the usa guys

[@CasMullac]

Could you advertise and sell your product as organic? or would you need some sort of Licence or certification to prove that you were in fact selling organic products?

[@stevenpierce2661]

Cas you need certification to sell as organic. Funny is it not, nasty chemical laden stuff gets a free pass and you go organic and you need certification.

[@Folsomdsf2]

Steven Pierce That's a bold lie you just said there brother.

[@collindesota373]

I live on a horse farm in Michigan and we do our own apple cider from our own trees. They aren't treated and they are the best that way. What makes it really good is putting pears in with the apples.

[@linuskindstrand]

Yo, ive got a question! Ive just started making my own cider at hom (in Sweden!!) and im wondering how do you make sure your cider stays good all year? How do you preserve it?

[@digitaldemocracyai-rob]

Without dragging this conversation on too much further, I have to agree with NJSMKMMS. No need for the gun. Surely, it would have been easier/comfortable to take the gun off then press the apples? Instead, he ruins a great video by unnecessarily and probably unintentionally, offending people. Yeah, I can watch another video, sure....and I will, and it is my problem being offended, not his. But it was a good video, and well made, and I learnt stuff from it but there was just no need to wear the gun. If he hadn't worn the gun, there would not be such a reaction from anti-gun viewers. He has taken attention away from his skill in apple press construction and given it to the anti-gun brigade. Counter productive. Good video minus the gun.

[@hotrodryan15]

Normal people are not concerned with what radicals busy themselves with.

[@johnnitschke6784]

Kennedy, are you feeling endangered or is this a control issue?

[@shadyjoltz3489]

If you can watch another video,(and have/are going to), than why did you take the time to write this long paragraph about his gun? Waste of time if you ask me...

[@wojciuirl]

What that mean this gun ? are you sheriff of your region? Why you didn't take of this gun for video ? that look so stupid.

[@elhigh]

You clearly aren't familiar with the man or his philosophy. He lives pretty far out in the sticks and doesn't leave the house without a weapon. Wild dogs and coyotes pose actual threats that must be prepared for; he has a small child who he values more highly than your pacifism.

[@wojciuirl]

elhigh Bullshit! Wild dogs and coyotes don't atack in the day at the property.

[@elhigh]

...and you know this how? Bullshit, indeed. I've lived in rural areas, wild dogs wander wherever and whenever they want. If they've gone feral, you want a gun on your hip. Go ahead, argue. Do it in front of a dog pack, though. I want to see you make a believable case for not having a gun in the wilderness.

[@wojciuirl]

elhigh Maybe

[@TheMetalButcher]

wojciuirl Even if animals don't attack, there is a chance of them attacking. There is no harm however; in carrying a gun.

[@qualqui]

Wow! Cody you're AWESOME, there ain't anything you can't do, you're virtually a DIY'er at EVERYTHING!! :D

I love cold pressed Honeycrisp unfiltered juice. I grew up in MI where there was nearly a farmer's rebellion when the state made them pasteurize.

[@ReconX524]

[@EagleMacCassady]

Would love to have that apple press setup. And I love that table, My Dad built three workbenches (2 at 3'x6' and 1 at 2.5'x3') back in 1972 with 2x4's and all thread holding them together like that table, they are mounted to the wall with 4x4 angle iron bent at 90° with a 45° 4x4 angle iron support so no legs, between the two 3'x6' bench is my 1972 Craftsman Radial Arm Saw. The benches need some adjustment because of the age, some of the boards are no longer flush, but because of the all thread it will be easy to adjust them back to flush by loosening the nuts on the all thread and simply leveling/flushing up the 2x4's, then a light sanding and they will be as good as new...
