Imagine how nice it would be to easily make gallons and gallons of your own fresh, wholesome, sweet apple cider at home without spending a small fortune on equipment.

If you have some basic handyman skills and tools, you can now build an easy-to-use, amazingly productive apple grinder and cider press. This book tells you everything you need to know to get the job done.

The process of turning apples into sweet cider begins with the Whizbang apple grinder, which is built around a modified kitchen garbage disposal. The Whizbang grinder will quickly turn bushels of apples into buchels of juicy apple mash, ready to press. No tedious hand-grinding is required. Just feed your apples into the electric grinder and beautiful mash will flow out the drain pipe. No other home-scale apple grinder on the market produces apple mash as fine as the Whizbang. Apple mash then goes into the Whizbang press. You may find cider presses that are more attractive to the eye, but you will not find a more practical and intelligent cider press design than the whizbang.

Light in weight yet remarkably strong, the Whizbang cider press is an outstanding cidermaking tool. Instead of using an expensive Acme screw, the Whizbang press utilizes an inexpensive automotive scissors jack to squeeze juice out of the mash. Innovative pressing discs layered in the tub of mash serve to extract the most sweet cider as quickly as possible.
