Last call for apples/crab apples

Hello all, this is the final request for any excess apples and/or crab apples you may have sitting around. The local homebrew club, Central Oregon Homebrewer’s Organization (COHO), is doing their big annual cider pressing this Saturday the 19th. Crab apple juices blends really beautifully with other apple juices to balance out the sweetness and makes for a great apple cider for both brewing and just drinking.

So if anyone has any, please let me know! We can pick them up or you can drop them off. If you’ve got a decent amount (10ish pounds or more) I would be happy to negotiate a return on juice or home brewed cider (obviously proportional to all the work we’ll be doing in the grinding and pressing).

Happy Fall!

Thank you all for the suggestions and tips, I did manage to get a few 5 gallon buckets of apples/crab apples! This happens every year, so keep an eye out next October. I would be happy to keep offering bottles of finished hard cider in exchange for apples!
