Hi Rocky, I ripped white oak planks to replace the staves and used stainless hardware. I stripped the metal bare and repainted with a food grade epoxy. It has been used to press wine probably a dozen times or so and is stained purple now.
I have made wine from CA grapes for years, but it’s time to pass on the hobby. I have a completely restored press made my the Beraducci brothers in Mckessport PA. a stainless crusher, and glass (Demijon, car oys, etc.
asking prices below:
Press: 1000
crusher: 100
glass and accessories...
