−	I guess it is quite a significant effort for 12 bottles of schnaps. Maybe 250kilos of apples - collecting 10 crates @ 25kilo, washing, putting into the vat, hauling out of the vat, distilling, dispensing with left-overs, distilling again.	+	I guess it is quite a significant effort for 12 bottles of schnaps.

Approximately one bottle per crate.
