Clearly a bit more than a typical homebrew set up.

What kind of yield from a bushel does a rig like that produce? What Cidery is this?

About 3 gallons per bushel, depending on the firmness of the apple. Got a lot more juice from our Empire than Gala.

Blackbird Ciderworks up in the Buffalo/Rochester area. Come visit if you're even in WNY.
