In the original farmhouse, the vertical axle was attached directly to the building's framework, and the arm was driven by a horse. The weight of the granite wheel is estimated at 600 kg. After being crushed, the apples were pressed.
It's worth pointing out that this kanche is not here in its natural context, but comes from a private home.
After being crushed in this kanche, the apples were pressed. The old lever presses used during the First World War have gradually been replaced by cheese graters.
Sweet cider, or apple juice, should be consumed within a fairly short time, while "hard" cider can be kept in good cellars for 2 to 3 years, reaching 3 to 4 degrees of alcohol.
