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.
