Speaking of which, feel free to bring your families along. If you have little kids, make sure thy wear tennis shoes or similar footwear. We have thistle and stinging nettle in the orchard and it can ruin a little kid's day to step on either with sandals.

I can bring a 6 foot and a 12 ft step ladder(s). I'll try to get there when you start.

Sarah and I are planning to stop out after going to the Iowa game. Should be around 6-6:30.

Turns out my crusher/press is unavailable this Saturday. I will still be there to pick apples.

Sorry to back out with press.

Couple of things.

1. I've decided to move the start time up to 2 pm.

2. I can confirm Rick's crusher is alive and well. It's been rewired and tweaked, but still purrs like a kitten. Gone, however, is the excitement of the shorting bar switch.

3. Feel free to bring beer. I have cups.

4. Feel free to bring food to grill. I have plates, napkins, etc.

Couple more things.

-Tim did a great job catering for a work picnic today and I will have left-over pulled beef & buns available.

-Can someone bring some BBQ sauce?

I'm sorry Lee, I won't be able to make it until after six, and this seems to be too late.

DrPaulsen · Post by **DrPaulsen** » Sat Sep 15, 2012 12:02 pm

That shouldn't be too late at all. I'm expecting it to take us at least 6-7 hrs to pick and press today. If you get here by 6:30, you will have at least 1.5 hrs of daylight, which should be more than enough to pick a couple bushels of apples.

9 gallons by my count for me. Shall we start a count again?

I collected 9 gallons. I'm only fermenting 5 though. I'm freezing some for back sweetening and drinking the rest raw.
