So far......

6x5 = 30+

7 gallon super cyser in primary, almost ready to secondary +
6 gallon cider with 4# brown sugar = 43
437+43= 480

going to start 6.5 gallons of Pappy's pub cider next week.
 
Pear cider, 11 gallons, made from Hood pears that I grew. Last name is Hood, so pretty cool. Bottled 1 gallon, the other 10 are going to rest for a bit.
First tasting was excellent.
480+11= 491
 
6 gal w/3 lbs of brown sugar. OG- 1.076
Yeast: WLP720-Sweet mead/wine and WLP775-English Cider

492 + 6 = 498

492 + 6 = 498

Nine gallons of cider made from windfall apples gathered from 4 or 5 different trees, wild yeast fermentation, some sugar added to bring the alcohol volume up by a few points.

498 + 9 = 507
 
49 gallons - First year making cider! Hope it turns out.
So far fave yeast is Mangrove Jacks M02
9 gallons wild yeast
rest are various wine, champagne, cider and ale yeasts

530+49 = 579!!
 
In June I had 70 gal on hand that I pressed in 2015 and fermented over the winter. Now that bottling the '15 harvest is over, I'm ready to press again next month. I figure my 731 lbs of apples on hand will make just about 50 gal which should be fermenting by Dec 1 and ready to bottle next summer. The '15 should keep me happy until this time next year when the '16 is fit to drink. Not sure how you want to allocate my production since I don't do cider by the calendar. Maybe the average?
 
Oct 10, pressed 135 gallons and put into carboys, even split with nottingham, s04, s05 and "cider house" yeast. Just finished primary fermentation racking out next week. 693.5+135=828.50gallons

Pretty sure we can all agree that when you 'make' the cider is when you ferment it Scrumpy. Bottling can happen at anytime... so let us know when you start pitching yeast on those apples, all 731 lbs worth! :)
 
5 gal of dark cider
5 gal of everyday simple dry
10 gal pappys pub
2 gal ice cider
1 gal apple/pear cider
2 gal misc. cider

828.5+25= 853.5gal

Some of these are wine strength so not sure if they classify as a "cider" per se.
 
I am making 10 gallons of cider this year so this makes 863.5 Gallons. Hope it turns out with the addition of stevia to sweeten the .998 and 1.000 batches. I added 1/2 tsp to the .998 cider yeast batch and 1/4 tsp to the SO-5 yeast batch. Cider on. Our brewing club bought 140 galllons to split with members if any of that counts, add it on!
