The Gravenstein harvest is usually done in August but other varietals will continue to ripen throughout the Fall. Fermenting the juice is a great way to take advantage of this bounty and make it last for months or even years, but unfermented juice can also be kept as a sweet treat for future enjoyment. There are several possibilities to consider before embarking upon a juice journey: What is the size of the harvest? This will determine the type of equipment needed to best process the apples. It will also help to plan storage containers and storage space requirements. What kind of containers are needed? How will the juice be stored and served? Ways to extend shelf life by freezing, pasteurizing, filtering, and using Sorbate and Sulfite.
When Life Gives You Apples - How to Make Juice Very small harvests can be processed in a home juicer---two gallons or less is appropriate. It can be a bit time consuming even for a small volume because most home juicers require that the fruit first be cut into pieces small enough to pass through the juicer’s feed. However, this method is easy enough if the harvest is not big enough to make larger processing equipment worth using (and cleaning!). For larger harvests it’s best to make use of cutting/crushing and pressing options which do not require the apples to first be cut up by hand. | | | | | www.thebeveragepeople.com info@thebeveragepeople.com | We strive to help our customers produce world-class fermented beverages and foods by bringing together quality supplies and best-practices instructional content.
