DH is interested in making hard cider at home (he already makes his own beer), and we are wondering about the the best way to press our own cider. Would a food processor be sufficient to chop up the apples before we press them? What is your opinion about using a juicer? We've heard a juicer won't handle apples very well. Should we just wait til apple season and buy fresh cider without preservatives?

yes, we have seen the beer & wine thread. Very interesting!

If you look on You Tube for the Whizbang apple cider press, you can see how to make a grinder with a new food disposal, and also how to make a super easy press.
