Some *******s never learn eh. This easter I am contemplating
having
another go at some rought home made cider. I am trying to get a
better
(cheap) rig together. Benchmark is this guy
He spent 40 euros apparently. Should be able to do it cheaper
than
that.

40 euros!! bloody spendthrift.
rob
I didn't quite get what he made the press cage out of (Damn ears
are
failing me.). The cage is what gets the pressure, with little
support.
frame was wooden, screwed & gang nailed.
A bottle jack
A couple of old wood turned spindles
Some mdf cut for a pressure board
An old drum to take the apple cake
What does an old drum mean?
I took it to mean a 'bang bang' type drum. I assume it is a wooden with
the
skin taken off.
If it is metal I guess the joker would've been aware of rust etc.
I am using a plastic bucket.
rob
OK, I just wanted to voice my concerns.
The plastic bucket, is it food grade plastic? It is probably more of a
concern for fermenters, but you may want to consider it.

Yes. Its HDPE which is a recyclable 2. That was free. My press plates are
also food grade, being 2 old plastic chopping boards that I got from
second hand shops for 50c each and cut down. My 'turkey baking tray' is a
food grade steel waiters tray that I also got for 50c.
I put you guys crook there. It wasn't 50 cents, it was actually 20 cents.
That is about 10 cents in old US currency but probably about 50cents now,
since your dollar plunged.
rob
Plummet is more like it.
The dollar is in the toilette, and the jobs have been sent to Singapore
and Malaysia, where one needn't worry about environmental pollution or
regulations about sweatshops. With more than 820 military installations
in at least 135 countries, fighting two and a half wars in the Middle
East, supporting another in Somalia, and planning for another against
Venezuela, our War Dept. has a base budget of $533.8*billion, plus an
additional $130.0*billion was requested for operations in the
profitable, but fictitious, War on Terrorism. Altogether, the U.S.
spends about $664*billion per year on its military, constituting
approximately 40% of world military expenditures spent by 5% of the
world's population. Outside of direct War Dept.'s spending, the United
States spends another $185*237*billion each year on other
defense(?)-related programs.
Just think, if America only spent 25% of the world's military
expenditures we could have healthcare for everyone, universal college
education, clean water for the entire world, and I might be able to
visit France again.
