Home made cider

Yesterday I helped a friend to make some cider.  There was a group of us all learning how to make it for the first time from our friend, Barbara.  

We started by chopping up 50kg's of apples and getting rid of all the bad bits of the apples and then cutting them up into 1/4s or 1/8s.

We then fed them through the chopper, then into the press and pressed them all twice to get the juice out.  It was then poured into a demijohn with some other ingredients like yeast and tartaric acid
