We press cider every fall. It still works perfectly and I use it for my wine grapes as well. Fantastic, well made product. We’ve had a Jaffrey press in the family for over 20 years.

Not a very cost effective way to get cider but it sure is a fun tradition in our family. We make wine from the cider every year as well. Delicious!

Lucky for us, the Washington State University Research Center in Mount Vernon has been researching which cider apple trees seen to do best in Western Washington since about 2004. The latest copy of their detailed annual reports is available online at: http://maritimefruit.wsu.edu/Cider07.html And I have found a number of excellent books on cider making. Since all of us learn & interact with different authors, I choose to read all I could get my hands on,....to see what I could learn before launching myself into cider making. If you are interested, send me an email and I'll send you a list of these books. Also if you could tell me what level of detail would be the most helpful, and I be happy to respond concering what worked for us. Last fall after several cider squeezing parties at our vacation home near Lake Chelan, my wife and I started 5 gallons of dry and 5 gallons of sweeter hard cider. They both turned out fairly good. Now I have 5 gallons of hard pear cider ("Perry") working in our shoreline kitchen. And this being the being of cider season, we are hosting several cider squeezes on weekends this month.

I will look these nursery's up next year when I plant a few trees myself. Can you give me some guidance on making hard cider? Up until this point I've only pressed fresh cider, but am looking to expand. I really enjoy the flavors of a Hornsby hard cider rather than the drier champagne flavors. Any guidance on what sort of cider apples will yield a sweeter and apple flavored hard cider? Thanks for the note! I will look these nursery’s up next year when I plant a few trees myself.

I purchased these trees from three local nurseries: The Raintree nursery, online at: (http://www.raintreenursery.com/catalog/producttype.cfm?producttype=Apples%2DCider the Burntridge nursery online at: http://www.burntridgenursery.com/products.asp?dept=12&pagenumber=1&sort_on=number&sort_by=ASC and the C & O Nursery online at: http://www.c-onursery.com/ These trees were: Ashmead's Kernal, Esopus Spitzenberg, Golden Russet, Harry Master's Jersey, Muscadet de Dieppe, & Newtown Pippin. It will take a couple of years before I can count on their production in my apple blend. Until then I'll continue to buy cider apples from a few local orchards. As you note, I too have found cider making to be fun, participatory and exploratory! Cheers!!

He only makes a few each year as he is retired and just makes them as a hobby. The only other electric presses that are readily available are Correll Presses, but I know he has a continual back log of customers. If you don't have any luck finding a press elsewhere please let me know and we'll see if we can make something happen. Thanks, Justin Hi Leslie,
