393.5+4=397.5 Just mixed up batch #12 this one ended up with a high OG about 1.080 at 60 f. I may try to cold crash it at about 6% ABV to keep it sweet.

Just started two more 5 gal. batches.

397.5 + 10 = 407.5

They are my 4th & 5th batches this calendar year.
 
We're Cider fanatics so we mainly make cider and have had a good experimental year. Our first batch started Oct 16, 2017 so we're just getting into it and wanted to try a variety of yeasts, juices, flavors, ages etc.


Batches started in 2018:

24 gallons fresh pressed (final pressing from 2017)
6 gallon blend of frozen fresh pressed and store juice
42 gallons store bought juice
30 gallons fresh pressed (2018 season so far, I'm sure I'll be adding more here soon)
------------------
102 gallons

412.5 + 102 = 514.5
 
407.5+100.= 507.5 I have made at least a 100 gallons this year. I own a small apple orchard, and have to do something will all my apples;) . I still have a lot of unpressed apples, I hope to make at least another 100 gallons.
 
512.5+6 gallons MO2 + 3 gallons Wyeast cider + 6 gallons ec1118 + 1 gallon perry= 528.5
 
407.5+100.= 507.5 I have made at least a 100 gallons this year. I own a small apple orchard, and have to do something will all my apples;) . I still have a lot of unpressed apples, I hope to make at least another 100 gallons.

Where are you located?
 
Two new 6 gallon batches arrived tonight!

Well, one is more like 6.5 gallons.

This will be our first wild cider and our first time using S-05 yeast! [emoji482] [emoji482]

645.5 + 12.5 = 658
 
I’m at 85 gallons this year. Previous best was 35 gallons in a year. I went in on a small commercial grinder / mill that has made all the difference. I’ve already bottled 7 gallons of pumpkin-spiced cider, 5 gallons of hatch chili cider, and 5 gallons of plain cider (all dry). A few yeast experiments (Belgian ale and saison, some wild fermented, some champagne yeast, some d-47, and some British ale yeast).

658 + 85 = 743
 
We just picked up two 6 gallon carboys of fresh pressed from a "hard cider" blend of apples.

One 5 gallon batch with S04, one 5 gallon batch with english cider yeast.
Two experimental 1 gallon batches with a blend of Cuvee and Classique yeasts at varying levels.

Very different than the traditional fresh cider we usually pick up, albeit significantly more expensive per gallon. We're pretty "excidered" about these!

749 + 12 = 761
 
6 gallons d47
6 gallons Graf with Nottingham
6 gallons k1-v1116
6 gallons ec-1118
1 gallon pineapple cider with classique

802 + 25 = 827
