HOW TO make hard apple cider | 1 years’ worth of alcohol DIY

In today’s episode I’m taking you somewhere where cameras and YouTube have never gone before! Come along with my pops and I as we go to an Old Order Mennonite farm to get pressed apple juice to make into hard cider. You won’t believe what I pay for this stuff! I cover how much it costs me for a year’s worth of alcohol and give you a rarely seen before look behind the scenes.

I grew up very close to the mennonite community here in Ontario and they were kind enough to let me film and chat with one of their youngsters about the apple pressing process.
