I'm going to press some supplies tomorrow. Have only done cider with store bought juice before.
I want to make some normal apple juice and some alcoholic cider.
I was going to pasteurise for the normal apple juice but for the cider should I throw in Camden tablets only and not pasteurise?
 
I crush and add 1 Campden for each gallon of cider I'm going to make, let it sit for a day or 2 depending on my schedule, and start the cider-making process. I don't pasteurize my fruit for any wine or cider.
 
I never bothered just washed the apples, scratted and pressed them, juice into the fermenters and put an airlock in.
Very dry cider resulted about 250 litres made.
