Every autumn we make apple juice with our friends. They get apples in big bins from sunfruit. First we get the tractor to carry the apples to the dairy shed on their farm.Then all the apples go through a garden shredder and into big bins. We then load the shredded apples into a pneumatic press which can press about 600-700 litres of juice from one ton of apples. Then we pump the juice in to some big 200 litre (50 gallon) drums for storage. We then pour the juice into a heated drum where it gets heated to 78′C and from there we pour it into 14 litre (3.5 gallon) bags. After that we take the bags home and drink it and I can’t wait till we make apple juice again next year.

This sounds like a major job. How much apple juice do you actually make? How long does it last? Remember when you are writing you have to try and anticipate the questions your readers might have and include that information in your post.

Altogether we make about 3400 litres but they are not just for us because we make it with lots of other people. We get about thirty bags and they last us about a year
