Irish Cider Apple Juice

[Ciderhead]

Last year I bought 75 litres of apple juice from Con at the apple farm in Tip, http://www.theapplefarm.com/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5BVzGkHkxM

This year again he is offering juice with 90% cider apples 10% Cookers. Normally the ratio is roughly 70:30 Sweet to sharp but because his cider apples are a bit sharper to get ph correct he doesn't need as many cookers.

Cost is €25 for 25 litres + €6 for the 25 litre drum (1.24/litre) one of which from last year I converted into a fermenter.
I know its more expensive than my last all grain and certainly more expensive than cloudy from Lidl, but its this years harvest, pulped the day before I collect and sold by a man who knows his apples  

Anybody that is seriously interested put your name below and depending on the numbers will determine if I push this into a group buy. There is no further discount on the above numbers however as I now feel its time to give something back to NHC, I will offer to collect and deliver in the same week(I am on the road for a living but may regret this  ) to you at no additional cost.
I will close this offer by close of play on the 7th and hope to collect/deliver the following week.

Hi Guys, great response so far.

MAF I don't want to be a meanie but I'd prefer you to commit eitherways as I will be trying to set a new NHC record for shortest time interval between receipt of funds and final delivery 8-).

Oo, sounds like a challenge. When do you think you'll be picking these up?

I would like to work to the original schedule Timelines

Offer closes night of the 7th

At that stage I would ask those interested to paypal me before close of play on the Sat.
If you don't have paypal but are definitely interested I will accept COD.
To keep the product as fresh as possible I will ask Con to press on Monday the 12th and to envisage that everyone will have their juice by Wednesday 14th PM. 
Dublin Area Drop-off first.
Between collection and delivery I will keep the juice chilled overnight in the shed, at least then you can then decide if you want to add yeast or let it naturally ferment.

Looks like MAF got accidently dropped from the list

So far 0.275 of a tonne! ( aka 275 L )

Cheers Will

Having just re-scanned the posts it looks like MAF took himself off

BTW:

If about 7 of us are all starting from same base juice do I detect a competive element here?

Would be great to meet up say round Paddys day to taste the ciders??

Yep. Originally put myself on the list as I thought I had til the 7th to confirm. I'm not a million miles from that apple farm anyway, so can pick up my own if my local source doesn't work out.
