I've just been loaned a carjack apple press, and i've been promised the inlaws apples, any idea were i can get cheap sacks for said apples?

I get used hessian Coffee Bean sacks for 50p from my local tea merchant.

If you know anywhere that roasts and sells coffee try them.

No discernible taint to resulting juice.

My misunderstanding. I harvested the apples straight into the sack.
Then, when I had chopped the apples up I put them back in the sack and pressed them in my home made press.
