Thorpist Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I have a fruit press you may borrow. It is made of Stainless Steel. Are you aware that apples take an awful lot of pressing if they haven't been frozen first Pm me for details
rabitter Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 thorpist any idea where i can buy a fruit press
Thorpist Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Ebay would be a good starting point. Winemaking clubs that had equipment seem to have disappeared,probably because it has become so cheap to buy

bogwoppit Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Electric juicers (good quality ones) are much better these days. Not for making apple juice. You want to extract the juice from the pulp, rather than just blend it all together. Apple pressing is very intensive - you have to chop and pulp the apples before pressing them to extract juice. To the OP - I do have a little press but it's in quite constant use at the moment. Give me a shout if you still need it in a month or so.
