Whizbang Apple Cider Plan Book

Whizbang Apple Cider Plan Book
Buy Now: $21.95

In the wordsof the author, Herrick Kimball:

"I suspect youare familiar with old-style cidermaking equipment consisting of ahand-crank apple grinder and a press with a big Acme screw that isturned down in order to put the squeeze to the ground-up apples.Such tools have been the home cidermaking standard for over ahundred years. And there are cider press companies that still sell(for a hefty price tag) grinders and presses patterned after theold tools. That old-style cidermaking equipment will get the jobdone butit does not get the job done easily or efficiently. Not atall.

After using old-style cidermaking equipment over the years to makemy own fresh-squeezed sweet apple cider, I came to the conclusionthat there had to be a better way. Which is to say, there had to bean easierway, and a more productive way, and a less expensive way.

And so it was that I set out on a personal quest to develop my owncidermaking equipment. I wanted a grinder and press that was easyto build with basic handyman tools and skills, relativelyinexpensive, and very efficient. It took me four cider seasons of tinkeringand testing before I finally had something I was satisfied with. Mygoal was achieved in the fall of 2008. I couldn't be more pleasedwith the results. That's why I call it Whizbang cidermaking."Whizbang" is a dictionary word that means "conspicuous for speed,excellence, or startling effect." Yup, the namefits.

Then I set to work putting my grinder and press designs into planform so that you, your family, and your friends could experiencethe sheer joythat comes with making gallons and gallons of pure, sweet,wholesome apple cider. 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"
