Our grinder will grind a whole box of apples (40 lbs.) into a slurry, in less than 5 minutes! It takes less than 10 minutes more to press the slurry into cider. One box of apples makes 2 to 3 gallons of cider. You can reasonably expect to make 12 gallons of cider per hour using the Homesteader and to make 25 to 30 gallons per hour using the American Harvester, because you can grind and press at the same time. https://happyvalleyranch.com/faqs/ Cheese Cloth, Eater, Apple Cider, Fruit, Canning, Cast Iron

It is much better on the muscadines if you do run them trough the grinder first. You might try running the grinder backwards as the space between the back plate and the drum is much smaller. It should split the grape enough to allow for better pressing. https://www.happyvalleyranch.com/FAQs_ep_43-1.html

Pressing whole fruit is hard on the operator and hard on the press. Juices are retained within the cells of fruit, so the fruit must be ground into a pulp to release these juices. No hand press is powerful enough to crush whole fruit to a pulp. Without this, you would have to chop the fruit by hand. https://www.happyvalleyranch.com/FAQs_ep_43-1.html

A(*). We understand that the open top of our screw does require a little more effort, but we suggest not being in a hurry. Complete half to one full turn and then let the juice flow - this will make for a better yield. If you see foam starting to form, then the pressure is too great. www.happyvalleyranch.com
