This is covered quite in detail in The New Cider Maker's Handbook...
In your case, you could consider an ebuillometer, however this is a 
relatively expensive instrument. But it is fast and quite accurate. I 
think it is a quite justified investment when making cider commercially.
Also the Residue (or Honneyman) method, which requires a high precision 
hydrometer in the range of 0.995 to 1.020 approximately.

Dick, I hope this is appropriate for Digest;  this is first time we have
really had quatities available.  Most are on dwarfing stock.  //Jim

[Folks, I normally discourage "want ad" type postings but I'm letting this
through since the digest has been so quiet and also Bob had a separate
question.  Please contact Bob directly off-list re press and mill.  --janitor]

this next year I will be buying a bladder press, a smaller one preferably.
If someone has one available in the west u.s. please let me know. Looking
for a compatible mill as well.

Also, some time ago, there was a post about Claude J's book, and how to
purchase from him directly. Still available?

thanks and have a great spring!
