From The Back Cover:
Imagine how nice it would be to easily make gallons and gallons of your own fresh, wholesome, sweet cider at home without spending a small fortune on equipment. That dream is now within your grasp.
If you have some basic handyman skills and tools, you can now build an easy to use, amazingly productive, apple grinder and cider press. This book tells you everything you need to know to get the job done.
The process of turning apples into sweet cider begins with the Whizbang apple grinder, which is built around a modified kitchen garbage disposal. The Whizbang grinder will quickly turn bushels of apples into bushels of juicy apple mash, ready to press. No tedious hand-grinding is required. Just feed your apples into the electric grinder and beautiful mash will flow out the drain pipe. Nothing could be easier. No other home-scale apple grinder on the market produces apple mash as fine as the Whizbang.
Apple mash then goes into the Whizbang press. You may find cider presses that are more attractive to the eye, but you will not find a more practical and intelligent cider press design than the Whizbang. Light in weight, yet remarkably strong, the Whizbang cider press is an outstanding cidermaking tool. Instead of using an expensive ACME screw, the Whizbang press utilizes an inexpensive automotive scissors jack to squeeze juice out of the mash. Innovative pressing discs layered in the tub of mash serve to extract the most sweet cider as quickly as possible.
This book tells you how to make your own sweet cider. You can drink sweet cider as it is, or you can ferment it to make hard cider, or you can use sweet cider to make your own healthful apple cider vinegar. The Whizbang cidermaking equipment can also be used to press pears (for making perry) and grapes (for grape juice or wine). In the off-season, the cider press can be utilized as a cheese press.
