Cheap hydraulic cider press
« on: October 16, 2012, 07:32:49 am »
I saw this the other day and thought "Hey, that looks like a cider press - just add your own cheeses". Over the weekend it was on sale for $149. Alas, I didn't buy it. I really don't have room in my garage.

It might be just a tad more force than you need for cheese.  Apples wouldn't stand a chance.

Well I certainly wouldn't crank down on them with full force.  :)
 
I guess I'm not the only one - I think this is the same model.

Wild!  500gal a season?  Just, wow.  That is quite a setup he has.  I love how creative people are.
