Fruit Juicers

Aug 06, 2005 4 Replies

I have a good crop of cooking apples this year and wonder if it is worth purchasing a Juicer. How much juice would I get from say a pound of apples? This would help me guesstimate the quantity of apples per Gallon of juice. Of course I can use the Juicer generally anyway on a day to day basis. Thinking it through, I suppose it would make easy to do the occasional gallon with windfalls or cheap fruit in season.



OK, now that I have more or less talked myself into it, back to my original question.

Thanks, Thomas.


You usually get 2-3 gallons of juice per bushell of apples.

Just a comment - and this may be heresy to some - but I have made wine from pure juice and wine from whole fruit (where I just cut the fruit up and use it like I would other fruit, fermenting on the pulp). I like the pulp method best. I really prefer the wine.
