    Sweet rig there.

    My neighbor just got an oldie from his FIL. I'll try to get a pic of it and put it up. I haven't looked it over for a name in the cast iron.

    I couldn't find any identifying marks on mine. It was pretty rough when I got it.

    Picked up a bunch of apples today. We might be making cider yet this week!

    I should explain. My wife picked up the apples..... What would I do without her?

    Since we freeze them we only fill them about 3/4 full - that way they don't explode in the freezer.

    Is any of this going to be fermented?

    I am calculating the cost of a jug of milk times 90 jugs...
