Detox and lose weight. Add 1 cup of Braggs Apple Cider vinegar (with the mother) to one gallon of water. Add 6 packets of Wyler's Peach Tea powder mix or any flavor of your choice to hide the vinegar flavor. Keep in fridge. For cleanse, drink one gallon per day for 2 days. For weightloss, drink at least 3 large glasses every day.

15 gallons is about 125 pounds of juice (taking into account density).
The most efficient presses yield about 75 pounds of juice for every 100 pounds of apples (75% yield). A regular basket press is not as good, maybe only 60-65%.
So if you want 15 gallons you will need at least 165-170 lb of fruit. More realistically, given a mill and press that is not ideal...you will need about 210-225 lb of fruit to get 15 gallons.
If you end up short, one thing you can do is add a little water to your pomace and re-press it. This will dilute your juice a little, but you can compensate to some degree by adding sugar and malic acid to the appropriate concentrations.
A 5 gallon bucket holds 40lb of water. Since apples don't pack as tightly as water (and the density is similar) expect to hold about 20lb of apples in a 5 gallon bucket, maybe a little more if they are tiny crabapples.
It should be if you have good press efficiency:
1 bushel ~ 42 pounds ~ 125 medium-small apples
1 bushel yields about 2.5-3.5 gallons of juice depending on a variety of factors
You have a little less than half (0.40) a bushel by weight so using the lower 2.5 gallons per bushel you'll end up with about a gallon.
Improvised home setups can have worse efficiency and end up closer to 1.5-2 gallons per bushel.

How much does a gallon weigh?
A US gallon of water at room temperature (70°F or 21°C) weighs around 8.33lb. A gallon of milk weighs around 8.64lb. and a gallon of gasoline weighs around 6.2 lb. 1 2
How many pounds are in a gallon?
The weight of a gallon of liquids such as milk, gasoline, liquid propane or beer is dependent upon the density of the liquid. And the density of a liquid will often depend upon the temperature at which it is being stored. To give a simple explanation, a gallon of water at room temperature will weigh less than a gallon of honey (because honey is a denser substance).
When making a conversion, it's important to remember that the US gallon is smaller than the imperial (UK) gallon. In the US, a gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. But, in the UK an imperial gallon is bigger at 160 fluid ounces.
How much does a gallon of gasoline weigh?
A US gallon of gasoline weighs around 6.2 pounds. This is based upon a gasoline density of 0.74 kg/l. The density of gasoline can vary between 0.7–0.8 kg/l depending on the level of aromatics.
How much does a gallon of diesel weigh?
A US gallon of petroleum diesel weighs about 7.1 pounds. This is based upon a density of 0.85 kg/l. The density of diesel is about 15-20% higher than that of standard gasoline because it contains larger hydrocarbon molecules, making diesel heavier than gasoline. 2
How much does a gallon of milk weigh?
A US gallon of milk weighs approximately 8.637 pounds, a quart weighs 2.16 pounds and a pint weighs 1.08 pounds. These weights are based upon a standard milk density of 1.035 kg/l. 3

Weighing gallons of water
The precise weight of water varies according to its density, which in turn depends on its storage temperature.
Notes on liquid densities
It's important to note that the density (mass per unit volume) of a liquid can vary depending upon many factors. These include the ingredients within the liquid, the processing method and how it is subsequently stored. Note that we also have a converter for liters and tons here.
