All you should need (aside from the press) is apple juice, some fermentation yeast (I'd imagine that WLP001 would do the trick nicely - but theremay be speciality Cider Yeasts), 2 5 gallon carboys (or 5-gallon buckets with lids, some racking hoses (any food-safe clear plastic tubing), some isopropyl alcohol, a 10-15 gallon stainless-steel pot, and a bubbler...

All of these items are obtainable at your local homebrew shop.

The important thing is to make sure that everything is _clean_ as all get-out, so invest in some sort of light caustic cleaner, and acid rinse solution - also available via your homebrew shop.

I gotta get ready for work here, so I can't go into a 20-minute typing frenzy to explain the process just now.... but that should give you an idea of the cost associated with getting it done.
