Ya know, you need to let me do some beta testing for you. I got a batch of banana that sure would test that thing out right. :h

I vacuum pressed 250 pounds of Frontenac grapes after complete fermentation.
I am very happy with the results so far -

I will definable need some beta testers at a nominal cost -

Who is interested ?
 
I'm in on some beta too if available. I have a braggot type thing that i'm experimenting with and fermenting on the grain then "pressing". Last time I did that it was a problem looking for a solution so this would be helpful :) Won't have grapes again till next fall probably but yes on some grains soon. This will probably be helpful in pressing the grain and extracting "all the liquid".

Cheers!

I'm interested.
Do you expect it will work well for pressing fresh grapes too? I mostly make whites using a basket press right now.
I'd be happy to help test.

Hey Steve, Any idea when you might have some beta kits available? I'd like to order and plan to start a batch or series of a couple batches using this to pull the liquid out of some mashed and honey infused grains for some meads and barley wines that I am experimenting with... Would like to experiment with vacuum extraction pre and post ferment. I tried this with vacuuming a bucket system already and it wasn't a tight enough seal... This looks like it might work so am v.interested.

Cheers!

I would assume not - all depending on how thick skinned the grapes are ?
 
I will be testing the vacuum press this weekend and putting the pulp that was just pressed into an ratchet style press and see how much of a loss there is - or are we just pressing the seeds and making it more bitter ??

So far to date - 21 vacuum press tests - all were done after fermentation was complete

Everything from aronia berries to grapes

Just trying to perfect the 1st run using a screened pipe to remove the free run prior to needing to press -
it is alot lighter to move around without all the wine in the primary.
