Title: Cider Pressing
Post by: JohnyMac on October 20, 2025, 10:29:42 AM
My MAG and a few non MAG folks held our annual cider pressing gettogether on Saturday. We only had 10 bushels of apple to press as apples locally were hard to come by. Out of those apples we ended up with 7 gallons of cider.

Every couple brought a dish to pass and this years host smoked a brisket. MrsMac and I donated the brisket and I made two loaves of artesian onion bread in my Dutch Oven that we brought.

The weather was perfect. Sunny and in the high 50's with no rain. With free range children counted, we had about 18 folks. Due to prior commitments, we had 5 less participants than normal. 

Here are a few pics
