Great, Konrad! I, too, would like to know how it works.

It looks like you have been busy making juice. We make homemade wine, and have made homemade rootbeer and beer in the past, but never apple juice, which sounds like a great idea.

How many apples does it take to make a quart of juice?

Great Photo.

You already have some detailed answers to this question posted over on the Harvest forum. There are several other discussions on the same topic currently running there as well so lots of info available. And I have linked to one here further down the page.

Thanks for your suggestion fahrenheit 451, I totally wish I could purchase them and store them! We started building a couple of months ago and were told to plan for a year before it would be completed. Our storage shed and my husbands shop are both stuffed full and the house we are currently living in doesn't have the extra space either. I asked if I paid would they hold them for me, but they said because they are clearing them out, they want them gone. Do you have any experience with their commercial line? I feel like thats overdoing it a little, but I had a whirpool duet set before and although I liked them fine, they needed a $900 repair after 5 years (it was only because we had a maintenance plan for them that we didn't just go buy a brand new set). I would rather pay the extra money up front for something that will last. I know that the trend right now is to just buy something cheap and replace it in a few years, which is so frustrating to me. The rep from Miele told me that they just can' compete which is why they are discontinuing. If we can't get the 3-phase power to run the commercial line, do you have any other suggestions? Thanks again. Spring

q's about loading sheets in washer/dryer=tangling
Q
Comments (2)
I try to wash sheets in my Fl with other heavier things. For instance, I'll wash a pair of sheets with a heavy towel or two. Or I'll throw in half a dozen men's dress shirts. I do absolutely nothing to arrange the load other than making sure that the sheets are actually seperated from each after being pulled off the bed. I load by putting each large piece in individually; for smaller items (T-shirts) I'll grab a bunch and stuff them in together. I don't have any problem with tangling unless I make the load too big. I dry sheets on the line, but give them a 5 - 10 minute toss in the dryer beforehand. After pulling the items out of the washer, I re-stuff them in the dryer loosely, not all in a ball from the washer. But other than that I don't find tangling is really an issue. I think washing the sheets folded would lead to poor cleaning. To try an untangle the tangling issue I would try these steps: reducing load size, dividing large objects among a couple of loads, and try variations of combining larger, heavier items with sheets until you get to the right combo. HTH, Molly

Thank you all!
The Quick Dryer spins the juice out of the apple [mush] when ground up and kept in a bag, like a pillow case.

This spindryer was used years and years ago for just spin dry close, perhaps some of the older folks can remember. This one I have reconditioned, tin plated, new stainless steel drum, new rubber motor mounts, spout etc. They run at about 2000 RPM and gets the juice out faster then a home press and also much easier to clean. I can put one pail of apples thrue, about 5 gal. [one load] and that makes about 6 to 7 liters of juice....what's that?..about a little more than 1 1/2 gallons?
This in about 4 minutes incl. grinding.

I will post more details on the fruit and orchard forum in the near future with more detailed pics, the grinder as well.
