Cyser from fresh apples

[leyus]

Hi

I want to make cyser, but all recepies I found are from apple juice, I don't really have access to 100% organic apple juice but I have plenty of apples, do you have any recopies on cyser from fresh apple? Or any recipe how to go on about making apple juice from fresh apples that will be suitable for cyser?

Why not press them and use the apple juice?

I don't have press can I just blend them?

No worries. Read this old blog from Luc Volders in the Netherlands. http://wijnmaker.blogspot.com/2008/09/appeltje-voor-de-dorst-apple-day.html
You have to scroll down to the English version.

Essentially if you core and freeze the apples, then thaw them, you can extract the juice efficiently without a press.
He compares several methods you can use.

I purchased a juicer from Amazon and pushed 80 lbs of cored apples through it. Somewhat labor intensive but definitely got the job done. In hindsight I would have filtered the juice prior to the primary as considerable insoluble material made it into the pot, making the first rack rather wasteful, but it did work out from an apple standpoint.

Here's a link to a thread that some of the heavies helped me with this same question: https://www.gotmead.com/forum/showthread.php/32159-cyser-prep?p=286976#post286976

I find that the pulp can be good for giving more tannins and body so it may work in your favor.
