I've been freezing some windfalls this year.  My current setup is an electric grinder followed by bladder press.  I'm wondering if the bladder press would prove to be a headache for frozen and then thawed apples.  Is there deal way to do it, or would it be easiest to just pick up an extra screw press for previously frozen apples?  Thanks

I use a rack and cloth and it goes very well. And I press the apples whole (i.e. not grinded).
I don't know for the hydraulic bladder press. I guess you'd have to test and report here...

It works very well with my 40 l. Hydropresses, and its even a perfect fit for most apples between bladder and grid, one layer of apples (more is doesn’t work so well..).
