Brilliant.
I could never avoid the metallic taste when I’ve pressed apples (on a much smaller and way more amateurish scale.)
I’ve always felt a bit cursed — like it’s impossible for me to press apples without introducing some kind of fault / taint.
I vicariously celebrate this project instead :)
- biotinker 5y agoThe acid in cider will aggressively dissolve any iron or copper it comes into contact with, giving it a blue/green color and corresponding taste. One thing I ran into with my old press was some paint finish flaking off, exposing the iron beneath- is it possible that you had something similar, allowing inadvertent iron exposure? For this project, every single screw or sheet of metal that touched the cider is made from food-grade stainless steel to prevent this issue.
