I got about 300 KG of apples (that's what I could put in my car...) - red delicious and pink lady. those are third grade apples, used mainly for industry - juice, extracts etc. I picked the better once though...
The real nice thing about it - it was free, and I can get more if I want (and I want
). I will probably be able to get also pears, peaches and plums from this guy. hopefully all for free. it is the biggest packing/manufacturer for those kind of fruits in Israel. probably the best connection I can have !My plans are:
First, try to cut most of the rotten parts , then grind, press, put in some yeast (1116/1118) ferment and distill.
I have a basket wine press - will it suit to pressing those grinded apples ? do I need to put some cloth on the press ?
Any other suggestions ?
I am so excited about it.
First time I am doing fruits that are not grapes.
Thanks guys
