I'm fortunate enough to live in a part of the world where honeycrisps grow very well. They command a very high price and most orchardists wouldn't consider making cider out of them, given the profits made from selling them as is.
Here is where I come in.
We pressed our second large batch last night and this time used honeycrisps. 18 gallon yield from the 'Spikehorn' press (fitted with a new 20 ton bottle jack!).
Does anyone have any experience with making cider from honeycrisps? IN the end, all will be blended but I'm mostly concerned with yeasts types used and how the final product turned out
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Happy Pressin'!
