16 gallons picked up Saturday,
WLP775 in 5, WLP002 in 1, Mangrove Jacks in 5, and e-1118 with 7lbs of light LME added to the last 5.
920.75 + 16 = 936.75
 
28 gals in primary under wild yeast fermentation.

936.75 + 28 = 964.75

Several hundred lbs of apples still to press.
 
5 Gallon Cider - Safeale S04 Yeast

974.75 + 5 = 979.75
 
167 gallons pressed, 60 fermenting

984.75 +60 = 1044.75
 
10 gallons Julian, CA apples pressed (50% Golden Delicious, 50% Field Blend Limon Orchard) wild fermented

+10 = 1,062.75
 
Twenty more gallons from neighborhood trees, wild ferment. About 100 lbs of apples left to press when they fully ripen.

I just started another 5 gallon batch of cider with orchard juice and Cotes Des Blanc yeast.

1095.75 + 5 = 1100.75
 
2 batches in the basement: 5 gallon and a 6 gallon from fresh pressed cider this fall. One will end up a dry, still cider; the other will be a sparkling, still cider... nothing fancy- just the way I like it!

Another 4.5 gal fermenting with 100% wild fruit, SG=1.067 and a TA of 25! This is amazing juice with a real snap. When that sugar is gone, it will still be acid enough to dissolve a penny. I pitched Lalvin 71B to reduce the malic as much as possible. I expect to pitch ML bacteria when the SG hits 1.005 to mellow it out a little more. This batch will be used as a blending agent to bump the acid and tannin of my other batches.

Not sure if I should tally mcampbell65's but I'll do it anyway.

1128.75 + (mcampbell65) 11 + (mine) 4.5 = 1144.25

Still waiting for my Baldwins to ripen so I will add another 7-10 gals before the season is over.
 
About to put 6 gallons into my new FastFerment set up later today, I have everything filled to the brim with sanitizer and doing a good deep soak on the tank heater. This will be a total of 33 gallons so far this season with the hopes of getting at least one maybe two more batches before the first.
 
So is that 33G or 6G to the total?

I'll add 6G to the total for you

Plus my new 18G + your 6=1168.25

Yes it got in this morning. I get the whole total thing now too. I wasn't sure at first but get it now. Thanks.
 
Sure, tally mine, it's going well! :)
