Such tools have been the home cidermaking standard for over a hundred years. And there are cider press companies that still sell (for a hefty price tag) grinders and presses patterned after the old tools. That old-style cidermaking equipment will get the job done <b aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0">but</b> it does not get the job done easily or efficiently. Not at all.<br aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /><br aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" />After using old-style cidermaking equipment over the years to make my own fresh-squeezed sweet apple cider, I came to the conclusion that there had to be a better way. Which is to say, there had to be an <b aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0">easier</b> way, and a <b aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0">more productive</b> way, and a <b aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0">less expensive</b> way.<br aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /><br aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" />And so it was that I set out on a personal quest to develop my own cidermaking equipment. I wanted a grinder and press that was easy to build with basic handyman tools and skills, relatively inexpensive, and <b aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0">very efficient</b>. It took me four cider seasons of tinkering and testing before I finally had something I was satisfied with. My goal was achieved in the fall of 2008. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. That's why I call it <b aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0">Whizbang</b> cidermaking. "Whizbang" is a dictionary word that means "conspicuous for speed, excellence, or startling effect." Yup, the name fits.<br aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /><br aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" />Then I set to work putting my grinder and press designs into plan form so that you, your family, and your friends could experience the <b aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0">sheer joy that comes with making gallons and gallons of pure, sweet, wholesome apple cider</b>. My 46-page plan book provides complete, easy to understand directions. It was published in March of 2009. The cost of the book is only $18.95"</p> <p aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0"><a href="https://oms.nexternal.com/Shared/OrderMgmt/htmledit/" aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0"><img width="360" height="239" border="0" src="https://www.nexternal.com/hombre/images/whizgrinder.jpg" alt="cider apple grinder" name="apple grinder" aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /></a> <img width="360" height="239" border="0" src="https://www.nexternal.com/hombre/images/whizbang%20apple%20grinder%20_3.JPG" alt="apple grinder for cider making" name="grinding apples" aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /> <a href="https://oms.nexternal.com/Shared/OrderMgmt/htmledit/" aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0"><img width="239" height="360" border="0" src="https://www.nexternal.com/hombre/images/whizbangpress.jpg" alt="fruit and apple press" name="apple press" aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /></a></p> <p aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0"><img width="239" height="360" border="0" src="https://www.nexternal.com/hombre/images/whizbangpress2.jpg" alt="cider press" name="fruit press for cider making" aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /> <img width="360" height="239" border="0" src="https://www.nexternal.com/hombre/images/whizbangpressplate.jpg" alt="Detail of press plate for making cider" name="Press Plate" aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /> <img width="304" height="387" border="0" src="https://www.nexternal.com/hombre/images/whizbangpress3.jpg" alt="fruit basket for cider pressing" name="basket press" aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /> </p> <p aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0"><img width="360" height="239" border="0" src="https://www.nexternal.com/hombre/images/whizbang%20cider%20press.JPG" alt="squeezing cider" name="draining juice" aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /> <img width="288" height="237" border="0" src="https://www.nexternal.com/hombre/images/homebrewcider.JPG" alt="hard apple cider glass" name="hard apple cider glass" aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0" /></p> <div aria-setsize="0" aria-posinset="0" aria-level="0">&nbsp;</div> </P> <P> <LI>SKU: A104 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://store.homebrewheaven.com/Category21" TITLE="Cider Making">Cider Making</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://store.homebrewheaven.com/Product1763 TITLE="#30 Fruit Press (C230)"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/hombre/images/press1.jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="#30 Fruit Press (C230)" NAME="#30 Fruit Press (C230)" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://store.homebrewheaven.com/Product1763 TITLE="#30 Fruit Press (C230)">#30 Fruit Press (C230)</A> -- Grape capacity is 5+ gallons per load.
