Our apple trees didn’t produce nearly as much as last year. We made cider but we never fermented it…how hard is it/how much equipment is necessary to make small batches?
To ferment small batches of cider, you just need a closed container with an airlock. I'm using a 20-liter water bucket that I've mounted an airlock on, but I'm definitely going to upgrade to more professional equipment once I start getting larger quantities of apples.
