rich that was brilliant! can u do another video explaning all the different processes u went thru on the video, serious dude really wanna no. and to say i took the piss on facebook, that was probably vod. in a different kind of way. please tell us more!!

no worries dude, it's really simple- the green bucket is for mashing the apples, that are then loaded into cotton pillow cases and then pressed with the 2 ton bottle jack

why does pinkbike keep selecting thumbnails of just grey? and not actual video stills? every frame i try to capture is just the same... grey and un-appealing. i've been here for around a decade, what is modern computing contributing to pinkbike? i dont know...

Richie this vid put a smile on my face, I bet you sleep well with the smell of apples wafting up your nostrils from the pillows.

haha, i did try, but the girlfriend was sick of apples by the time i'd had 250lb hanging around in the house for a couple of weeks prior to pressing!

Rich that’s quality mate, I didn’t know you were a brewer too. I’ve got 7 gallons of pear and crab apple on the go Smile

nice, thanks man. this is just mixed apple scrumpy. i think there are apples from 10 or 12 different trees. i got some funny looks dragging the ladder out the van with my scrumping bag at various nefarious looking locations. also on the go this year is a gallon of bramble and pear wine and 2 gallons of elderberry wine
