hello everyone!

as i live in germany, you dont get any good cider, just the shitty sweet french one.

now, i have some questions. the press is probably the hardest to get. how would one go about it, and is there any household thing you can use instead?

also, i thought of a clever idea. once you have your pressed apple juice, you dont want it to oxidize, right? so the idea was if you put it into a bucket, and placed a light, non reactive liquid on top, because its lighter than the cider, it would swim on top, and wouldnt mix. the fermenting gives off some gasses, which can pass through the light liquid, but the oxygen cant penetrate it, so the cider stays oxygen free. i dont know what liquid to use though.

thanks, will.
