When using a keg how do you pasteurize if you want to keep some residual sweetness?

RHS list for apples: https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/pdfs/ApplePollinationGroups.pdf

Just stumbled upon this website with great information about pollination partners. I'll see if I can distill a useful format from its information. Blakeney Red is just one of the many varieties listed with pollination partners. https://www.keepers-nursery.co.uk/searchpolpartner.aspx?id=BLAKRD

Great list! Thanks for posting. However flowering at the same time does not mean being able to pollinate one another.

Sounds good.

I cannot find any compehensive pollination tables of old varieties, especially English and French. Do they exist? And if so, where can I find them?

Any thoughts on the above shredder?

How about this one? Rollers are adjustable. Does 200 kg/hr. Not that I am going to crush that much but seems efficient. You can even fit the thing with an electrical drill. https://www.fischer-lahr.de/Handbetriebene-Obstmuehle

4 gallons is what I brew every year and even that is a bit much for me and the missus.

How about this one? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Portable-and-easy-operate-electric-fruit_1600051366348.html?spm=a2700.wholesale.0.0.15585748COq95z

I have seen videos of an insinkerator grinder in use. Apples had to be pushed into the insinkerator one by one with a stick.

Looks like the Maximizer's pulp has rather large apple chunks in it. What is its juicing efficiency?

If you can use PayPal to pay for it I do not think you have to worry about reliability. I once bought something from a Czech vendor who never sent the item and got my money back.

How about keeving? Or racking the fermenting juice a couple of times?

Thanks for your replies, guys. 2 problems: I do not have the skills to make something like that myself and insinkerators are not allowed here. I really need to buy something. I now work with a Pulpmaster. Works reasonably well but is pretty labour-intensive.

I am looking for something cheap and cheerful. Unfortunately the area I live in does not have a cider and juice tradition so most stuff that's on offer on the bay is at least 5 or 6 hours by car from here. I like the vintage stuff a lot.

Found this on YouTube. Looks like it produces very small apple shreds. Do modern-day fruitmills give similar results?

You want as little oxygen as possible on top of your juice. Oxygen causes oxidation of the juice and gives unwanted bacteria and fungi a chance to live in and on your juice.

Baker's yeast isn't the most suitable for making cider. You can juice a small amount of any fruit, preferably but not necessarily organic, add it to the store-bought juice and let the yeasts naturally present on their skins do the fermentation. Sounds like you live in a country where figs grow...
