Cider Makin'

We had a fun weekend making apple cider back home with my family. Apple cider has been a long-standing family tradition from my grandparents, which has been revived over the past couple of years, since the discovery and purchase of a used cider press. My brother and his wife had their 3 kids with him for the weekend, so that made it extra fun.

I've included some pictures below to show the guys hard at work. I even took a couple turns at the apple grinding part--that gym membership sure paid off!


Grandma Snider's job was filling the jugs. I think we had close to 30 gallons by the end of it.



Grace wanted a turn at the crank, too: Here's Keith taking his turn:
And finally, a short video of the process:
