Those cast iron presses were actually lard presses, to get the last vestiges
of lard from the cracklin's, and cna sometimes impart an "iron" taste or rust
tint to the juice.

Hi all,

I was talking to Jill off list regarding food mills for pressing
berries,
and I mentioned how I wished
they had small, cider type presses that could be used for berries.
When it
comes to juice extraction,
nothing is more efficient than a press, but presses are too big for
small
jobs (10-20 quarts).

With that in mind I did a quick search for plans for such a tiny
press. I
got a good hit on the first
pass and thought I would pass it along to you all;

Jeff Summit's Cider Press
http://web.bham.ac.uk/GraftonG/cider/press1.htm

I sent an email to Jeff asking if he had a picture of it (other than
his
diagram).

Seems like a simpe press that could be made with a 5 gallon plastic
pail.
It would save a lot of kitchen
mess, especially with dark colored, staining berries.

If any NAFEX members have designed simple to construct, tiny, cider
type
presses, I would like to see
them too.

We all end up needing to put all the fruit we grow to a good use.

Thanks,
Tom
