[TheForge] The hard cider is good... OT:

[Jonathan Barnhart]

By the way in all this discussion of making hard cider, other than the freezing to make mind blower juice, I've not seen anything about recipes or methods.  I've found some recipes online with methods.  But, I'd like to hear some tried and true stuff from people that have done it and not take the word of netfolk.  

Also how are you pressing your juice?  I know you can buy a press but I wondered if anyone had an alternate way to press?  That way I don't have to buy a press and then not get enough use to justify the purchase.  

Inquiring minds want to know and potential lushes want to know even more so.
