Wanted to share - this is 60 gallons of cider fermented in my unheated garage. It’s done fermenting and will probably be transfered to kegs and carboys next weekend. Much of it is being shared with friends in my homebrew club.
Can’t wait to try some at the next meeting. You’re going to need some help consuming all that cider. 
That’s gotta be a strong table
It’s an old school lab bench. 60 gal of cider probably weighs 500 lbs - a lot - but about the same as having 2-3 people sit on it.
Ron - sadly we’ll be visiting my parents in NM for the next meeting.
Well have a safe trip and hopefully you’ll be enjoying some warmer weather down there…drinking cider. 
Umm…Wow. That’s a lot of cider. Makes my little 5 gal first attempt pretty pathetic. How long does it take to develop this level of obsession?
I’m with you, my couple of batches every 2 years is pretty puny.
We’ve been making cider for 6 years. The jump to this size came two years ago when I was looking to make a larger batch. I asked a friend who’s a winemaker at a commercial vineyard if he had any ideas about cheap fermenters larger than 5 gallons. Honestly, I was thinking 15, maybe 20 gallons, but he had this barrel at the winery and gave it to me. I figure I’m obligated to fill it, right?
Very nice
I thought I was one of the cool kids with 15 gallons of cider fermenting. All different juice blends though.
We split it up yesterday - 12 carboys/kegs of cider. We kept 4 and 8 went off to their forever homes.
