Lisa,
The apples are mostly from my property (I have neighbors who let me have all the fruit from their trees). I've got 1 tree that I have no clue what it is (the actual broken apple tree) and it only gets apples every other year. Then I have a huge McIntosh and a small to medium sized Golden Delicious tree (that's what 2 of my neighbors have too). Also I have a very large crab apple tree but I only got 2 gallons of crab cider (only to mix in with the others later on).
I've planted 12 other trees: 3 Liberty, 3 Golden Russet, 3 Northern Spy, 1 Kingston Black, 1 Brown's Apple and 1 Ashmead's Kernel (the last two are actually on order and will arrive in April).
The first 10 trees mentioned above should all fruit next year. Maybe not enough to actually make cider from, but enough to get a taste of the apples.

Best Regards,
Brian

Earl,
You've got a deal (well, is yours any good??) :-)

Brian, I made some Palmtublue wine one time that was called "truth serum." :-) {palmetto tree fruit, tupelo fruit, and wild blueberries}

Also use to make Perry [sparkling pear wine], gallons at the time. I'd fill a 30 gal. plastic can about half way with crushed pears, pour hot water over them and let sit for a few days. Then wife would get in and stomp pears into mush. :-) {of course I made her wash her feet}

Then I'd strain juice and do my thing.

So, yes, it's probably pretty good. :-)
