Mr. Lea, 

Great info here, thank you for your diligence. Just to be clear, it seems 
like all of the preventative measures to insure clean, safe concentrate 
are taken while in production, packaging, transportation and storage. Are 
there any procedures (filtration, pasteurization, additives) to protect the 
juice post fermentation? Specifically against this pesky yeast strain? Thank 
you again for your time and information. 

Eric

One other option not mentioned is the Avalon Cider press 

https://meadowcreature.com/avalon 

Think of it as a modern adaptation of the traditional basket press. 

I own one and use it for small scale batches. 

The grinder works amazingly well, making better pomace than the hammer 
mill associated with my Goodnature squeezebox. 

(Full disclosure, I?m a friend of the manufacturer and purchased one 
of the first Avalon presses produced)
