My apple trees normally ripen at different times every season, and maybe because Oregon is having an unusually hot and dry summer, I now have individual apple trees sporting very ripe to very green apples. A single pressing weekend seems impossible.
Question... can I press a few apples and start fermenting them, and then every 2 weeks or so, dump in new pressings? Maybe I press 3ga into one 3ga carboy, then 2 weeks later, I split the original pressing into two 3ga carboys and then top them off with a new 3ga pressing. I could imagine pressings over a 6 week period.
In prior years I have tried to store early apples, but I usually end up with rot and mold issues.
