Anyone Interested in Bulk Apple Juice From Nudie Juice?

[treefiddy]

I have had lots of great feedback from others here and have been in contact with Harcourt Juice / Cider Makers

http://www.whitegumapples.com.au/contact.htm

They have quoted $1.40/lt for either apple or pear juice - preservative free unpasteurised from the orchard
It's a bit of a drive from Melbourne but that's my plan

Will they fill up a cube for you or will it come in the 2lt/15lt catering packs?
I noticed that the bottled stuff has potassium sorbate in it.

Nah mate not bottles - take your cubes and they will fill them with juice - they press the juice once a week and told me they need a weeks notice
Just tell them how much you want and take you containers / cubes etc and your good to go

 

[treefiddy]

I think I may just take them up on that over Easter.

Thanks muchly for the heads up!

Anyone bought some juice yet?

 

[WillCowan]

I would be keen for 60 litres, ( up to 100L if the price was good ) can supply a cube, and I'll chip in for petrol if you are picking it up.


From the harcourt website.
All fruit is washed and graded (sorting table-grade fruit from juice-grade fruit) prior to being placed in 350 kg bulk bins where it is then transported to our coolstores.



I would be interested to see if we could get a few people to go in, and buy a 350 kilo bulk bin of a good cider apple.

I'd be up for 20-40 L too. I have a car so anyone considering going up - let me know if you are in the neighbourhood (North-eastern suburbs) and I'll swing you some beer and petrol money.

Manticle
I am in the same area as you, I am keen for 30 odd liters - I am pretty sure you have to pick it up on a weekday and I am flat out with work right now. I aim to try n get up there in the next few weeks.

I will post here when i have a date / time If anyone wants me to pick them up some juice - lets know but I have a sedan - can only fit a few cubes in the boot

Do anyone what the ratio of apple/pear juice should be ??
I've been told pear has non fermentable sugars that that improve sweetness
? 75% apple / 25% pear

 

[manticle]

I'll be going straight apple for mine but it really depends on whether you want any pear flavour coming through or just that hint of residual sweetness. When I have crushed/blitzed my own apples I have used maybe 20% pear and nashi and not detected the flavour in the final batch. Still fermented out close to 1.000

Sounds good - I am not in a major rush but like to ferment ciders in the cooler months.

Djar007 30 litres. Western suburbs.

 

[djar007]

I can probably pick it up midweek. Let me know if you need it. Can also drop off thornbury for alll you darebin mob.

 

[New_guy]

There is no saving here to buy in bulk as such - they have a flat price. I wouldn't want anyone to depend on me re pick up times as I can't promise when I am going to get some.

 

[djar007]

No worries. I am going to pick some up this week if I can. Will keep you allposted if keen.

 

[manticle]

Put your name, suburb and the quantity below.


1. WillCowan - Thornbury - 60 to 100 Litres
2. manticle - Fairfield (next to thornbury)- 20 to 40 Litres.
3. New_guy - Same Area - 30ish Litres

[kahlerisms]

I'd love to but between the grain bulk buy and Good Beer Week I'm really low on surplus funds this month
