Hey there… Well it has been so long you might not remember even sending me your note about my cider pictures on Flickr. Thanks for the kind words. The reason I hadn’t seen them until now is because I moved the site to a new location and no longer use WordPress. If you want to see updated posts from here on out just check out http://www.oldtimecider.com

Thanks again!

Comment on Cider Press! by Joe Hoffmann

You got very lucky. I’m looking for a cider press myself, but think that I’ll purchase a brand new one, from Happy Valley Ranch. I would like to see a good review of the different models and am wondering if you’ve come across anything that says one is better than the other. They look pretty simple and really shouldn’t be too much different from each other. Let me know if you have any special preferences.

Hi there,

I saw that you tagged Robinette’s and our video on Facebook. Thanks so much! I’m glad you liked it. I was wondering if you could email me and let me know how to tag a fan page in a post on Facebook. I know that with a personal friend you just put the @ sign before you type their name, but I haven’t been able to figure out how to tag a business fan page. I’ll try to add your link on the “Partners” part of our website. Love your site!

Thanks for the intro, Dave. I agree, you should make it out to Michigan sometime. Beyond the cider tour I did on a trip to Northern Lower Michigan, we have some nice ciders here in West Michigan, especially at our own New Holland Brewery: http://newhollandbrew.com/corp/menu/drink/hard-cider/14/

Cheers!

Comment on Cider Apple Mills; Grinding and Shredding Apple at Home… by oldtimeydave

I borrowed a small Apple Mill made in Germany that looked exactly like this grinder looks, down to the blade. I have no doubts it would work. It is also like the blades on commercial restaurant slicing machines.

Good question! I’d love to expand on that in a post. I’ve always meant to and perhaps I will still.

Cider makers can do a few things.
1. Keg their cider? I know wine serves in 750ml bottles but perhaps not having to buy a whole bottle or possibly 2 whole bottles would help.
2. Make sales calls to restaurants and emphasize Cider’s food friendliness and pairing opportunities.
3. Help restaurants put on special cider events. This just might help them see the values in cider.

Cider Enthusiasts can do one important thing.
1. Ask your favorite places for a good local craft cider.

I think preferably all parts that come in contact should be stainless or any kind of food grade material. Obviously not for a blade, but plastics like HDPE are great too depending on the use.

Has anyone tried these with actual apples yet? I looked and they are currently running at $99 here in SW Washington.
