I pressed ˜1600kg apples in March. So, approximately 750 liters. Lousy efficiency, but solid gravity. 14.5-15 brix.
Lalvin r11
Mango Jacks Cider yeast.

I look forward to sourcing apples to start this season's cider.
 
Started two gallons of McIntosh single varietal with 71b-1122 yeast.

591 + 2 = 593
 
I am so late to this....

5 gals (4 apple, one cranberry) with S-04
5 gals with Nottingham Ale

Both are still in the fermenter (3 wks on the S-04, one week with the Notti).....

200 gallons and counting :rock:
Thread total 603+200= 803
 
Got some more going:
6 Gallons secret experimental cider
3 Gallons Perry, pitched with harvested wild yeast
13 Gallons Winesap Single Varietal, wild ferment

913 + 22 = 935
 
Just finished pressing 20 bushels of apples around (800-900pounds)
50 gal output

Pitched with D47 + some east starter + pectin

947 + 50 = 997 gal.
 
Started yet another medium size batch, and a small experimental batch:
6 Gallon Apple-Pineapple, pitched with wild-harvested yeast
1 Gallon High-gravity Unknown Crabs(?)(OG 1.075!!), wild ferment

1,000 + 7 = 1,007
 
If I may weigh in with my year to date total...

5 gallons every two weeks, 42 weeks so far. Only a handful of days have gone by with no cider in the fridge. Maybe 6 all year.

225 gallons!

1017 + 225 - 1242
 
591+30 = 621 gallons

All fresh pressed orchard juice
6 gal D47
6 gal safcider
5 gal US-05
5 gal K1-v1116
5 gal ec-1118
3 gal wild ferment

Blended 1 gal of urban foraged crab apple juice into a few of the batches. Fermented all this a month ago and am bulk aging now!
I’m going to add some adjuncts into one or two of the batches, but not sure what to do quite yet!
 
6 gallons and throwing in a little pear wine fruit base. 10-12% abv.

Trying the Imperial Organic Bubbles yeast this year.
 
i see so you cider boy's take off around harvest.....another 10 kroger (pitiful me) juice

so if i read the last post right? 1298+10+6=1,314
 
Another 5 gallons down, started a 2nd run on premier blanc yeast cake.

Very firm yeast cake. My first run was super light and clean tasting. Only the most barely perceptible hint of a champagne flavor and less sour than usual.

Amazing with a splash of cranberry in the cup.

1314+5 = 1319

EDIT:
Also, for legal reasons I want to add that those were brewed at multiple addresses!
