Story Quest: To make enough hard apple cider to make it through the winter months. They’ll turn a ton of apples into hard apple cider in the loft using a DIY apple crusher/juice extractor. Contraption: An apple grinder with a fruit hopper, and a screw-turn juice press with a hard wood barrel-like pulp gatherer. With fall coming on, the Food Jammers decide to make enough hard cider to get them through the winter. By visiting an orchard and a fermentation expert, the guys learn not only how to make cider, but how to make it hard. Back at the loft, the guys make their own apple grinder and a hand cranked press, so soon they are drinking their own delicious cider.
