Hey all -
I've found that this coming fall I'm going to have access to a lot more apples than I've ever had in the past. (Largest batch I've done thus far has been about 22 gallons, spread over five fermenters of various sizes). This year I'm going to be looking at a metric crap ton of apples/juice, and I'm looking for some relatively inexpensive options for brewing in larger batches.
I've taken a look at this article, and I thought it may be worth a try?

If you've tried this, let me know what your experience was, or if you have a different idea, please feel free to throw it out there.
