I went to the flea market today and bought 20lbs of apples for $5!!!!!! And about 7 lbs or pears for $4 now I'm wondering what to do recipe wise! Any suggestions guys? I couldn't pass up the deal!!!

What varieties of apples did you buy? Do you have a juicer?

Just got one for the wife for our anniversary and starting to think ill use it more. Juicing is going to revolutionize the beer industry!

It's about time you beer guys caught up to us cidermakers

Courtland apples, and yes i have a juicer!!!

I would juice both the apples and pears into a carboy. Cortland apples alone will probably result in a rather thin cider, but the pears should give both depth and flavor. Mix in some pectic enzyme and pitch in your yeast of choice.
